EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the French royal court during the 16th century. The image depicts the grand "Ball at the Court of King Henri III of France, or Ball of the Duke of Alencon" held in honor of Anne duc de Joyeuse's marriage to Marguerite de Vaudemont on September 24,1581. The scene unfolds within the opulent walls of the Louvre, Paris, where nobles and courtiers gather to celebrate this joyous union. Musicians fill the air with enchanting melodies as guests engage in lively dances and revelry. The panel measures an impressive 120x183.5 cm, showcasing every intricate detail that brings this historical event to life. Anne duc de Joyeuse was not only known for his position as one of King Henri III's mignons or court favorites but also played an active role in the French Wars of Religion. This ball served as a testament to his elevated status and influence within both political and social circles. With its vibrant colors and exquisite composition, this artwork offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with elegance, royalty, and celebration. As we admire this piece from afar at Louvre Museum in Paris today, we are transported back to a time when music echoed through magnificent halls while love united noble families under glittering chandeliers.
