EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures the tragic moment when Henry IV, King of France and Navarre, is being carried into the Louvre after being assassinated by a Roman Catholic fanatic. Henry IV, the first Bourbon monarch and son of Jeanne d'Albret, was known for his efforts to bring peace and unity to France during a time of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. The image depicts the somber scene with great detail, showcasing the sorrow and shock felt by those around him. The artist has captured the gravity of the situation as Henry IV's lifeless body is carried into one of France's most iconic landmarks. Henry IV's assassination sent shockwaves throughout Europe and marked a dark chapter in French history. His wife, Marie de Medici, was left widowed and his young son Louis XIII ascended to the throne at a tender age. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of power and how quickly fortunes can change in politics. It immortalizes Henry IV as a martyr for religious tolerance and peace, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be remembered centuries later.
