EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph depicts Maximilien de Bethune, Duke of Sully, the influential Chief Minister of France during the reign of King Henry IV. The image showcases his commanding presence and regal attire, capturing the essence of this prominent statesman from the 16th century. Maximilien de Bethune played a crucial role in French politics and government as he navigated through the tumultuous era known as the French Wars of Religion. As a Huguenot himself, he faced numerous challenges due to his Protestant faith but managed to rise above them and become an instrumental figure in shaping France's history. The portrait highlights his dignified stature with a cloak draped over one shoulder and a ruff adorning his neck. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and determination, qualities that made him an effective politician during this transformative period. Created by Hermann Vogel in collaboration with G Montorgueil for their book "Henri IV" published in Paris in 1907, this illustration captures not only Maximilien de Bethune's likeness but also provides insight into the political climate at that time. As we admire this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder of Maximilien de Bethune's significant contributions to French society and politics. His legacy lives on as one of France's most respected chief ministers who worked tirelessly to bring stability amidst religious conflict while leaving an indelible mark on history.
