EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the iconic Henri IV, King of France and Navarre, imparting his wisdom to his young son, the Dauphin Louis de France. Taken around 1605 by Jacques de Fornazeris, this engraving beautifully portrays the intimate scene of fatherly instruction. Intriguingly framed within an ornate decorative border, this image showcases not only the royal family but also Marie de Medicis, Henry IV's wife and future queen consort. The presence of Medici suggests her involvement in their education as well. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication as it depicts a private lesson taking place within an opulent interior setting. With Henri IV seated on a grand throne surrounded by courtiers dressed in regal attire, one can sense the weight of responsibility that rests upon his shoulders. As Henry IV imparts knowledge to his young heir apparent, we witness a passing down of wisdom from one generation to another. This tender moment between father and son symbolizes the continuity of power and legacy within French royalty. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; this historical gem serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. It allows us to glimpse into the lives of these influential figures while reminding us of their enduring impact on French history.
