EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Consecration and Coronation of Henri IV at the Chartres Cathedral on January 27th, 1594. The late 16th-century engraving by French School showcases a significant event in French history. In this image, we witness King Henri IV (1553-1610) kneeling before a bishop, adorned in his regal ermine robes. With anticipation and reverence, he awaits his coronation as the rightful ruler of France. Surrounding him is an assembly of courtiers, clergy members, and Queen Marguerite de Valois or de France, also known as Reine Margot (1553-1615). The atmosphere is filled with solemnity and grandeur as all eyes are fixed upon this pivotal moment. The bishop stands tall wearing his mitre while preparing to place the crown upon Henri's head. This symbolic act signifies not only the king's ascension to power but also his divine right to rule. The Chartres Cathedral provides a majestic backdrop for this sacred ceremony. Its towering architecture adds an air of majesty and spirituality to this historical occasion. This photograph from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris offers us a glimpse into one of France's most important events during the reign of Henri IV. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our understanding of monarchy and tradition today.
