EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the regal presence of Henri IV, also known as Henry III of Navarre, during his reign as King of Navarre in 1589. The print showcases a half-length portrait of this influential historical figure, showcasing his royal cape and distinctive ruff collar. Henri IV was born to Antoine de Bourbon and Jeanne d Albret, Queen of Navarre. He solidified his power by marrying Margaret of Valois, sister to Charles IX of France. His most notable achievement was signing the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which granted religious freedom to Protestants in France. However, Henri's life came to a tragic end when he was stabbed to death by a fanatic named Francois Ravaillac. Despite this untimely demise, Henri IV left an indelible mark on history as the first Bourbon king and for his efforts towards religious tolerance. Theodore de Bry skillfully captured the essence and majesty that surrounded Henri IV through this remarkable engraving. This particular print is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness the strength and authority exuded by one of France's most iconic rulers. It serves as a reminder not only of Henri IV's significant contributions but also highlights the enduring power that art possesses in preserving our past for future generations.
