EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1825 showcases Henri, Duke of Joyeuse, a prominent figure in French history. The portrait depicts the duke in all his aristocratic glory, wearing an elaborate costume that reflects the fashion trends of the late 16th century. Henri was not only known for his impeccable sense of style but also for his significant contributions to the French army during the tumultuous period of the French Wars of Religion. As a member of the Catholic League, he played a crucial role in defending Catholic interests against Protestant factions. However, Henri's life took an unexpected turn when he decided to leave behind his military career and become a Capuchin priest. This surprising transformation adds depth and intrigue to this already fascinating historical figure. The handcoloured lithograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of Henri's attire, including his double ruff collar which was fashionable at that time. The black and white composition enhances the dramatic effect while allowing us to focus on Henri's commanding presence. This artwork is part of Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello's Italian edition depicting civilian and military costumes throughout French history. It serves as both a visual representation of fashion trends from centuries ago and as a testament to one man's remarkable journey through different roles in society - from warrior to religious devotee.
