EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grand entrance of Henry II, King of France, in Rouen on January 10th, 1550. The city is adorned with vibrant decorations as it organizes a magnificent popular feast to honor both the King and Queen Catherine de Medici. This historical event is beautifully illustrated by Louis de Merval through an eau forte technique that brings life to a manuscript housed in the Municipal Library of Rouen. In this image, we witness the splendor and opulence of the French court during the 16th century. Henry II, mounted on his majestic horse, leads a procession accompanied by his armee. His armor gleams under the sunlight as he proudly rides through the streets of Rouen. The parade showcases not only royalty but also various animals - horses, ponies, racehorses - adding an element of liveliness to this regal spectacle. The presence of these creatures highlights their significance in medieval society while emphasizing Normandy's rich equestrian heritage. As we delve into this photograph's intricate details, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one momentous day when Rouen paid homage to its beloved monarchs. It serves as a testament to history's ability to captivate us even centuries later and reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by figures such as Henry II and Catherine de Medici.
