EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite mid-late 18th century print depicts Henry IV of France, also known as Henry the Great or Guy of Lorraine (1553-1610). Born in the Duchy of Lorraine, Henry rose to become King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania before being elected King of France in 1589. His reign marked a period of relative peace and prosperity in France, earning him the title of "Good King Henry." The portrait is a meticulously crafted miniature, likely created using the enamel technique. The oval frame houses an intricately detailed image of Henry IV in profile, dressed in the regal attire of a French monarch. The enamel work showcases the king's striking features, with piercing blue eyes and a well-groomed beard. The portrait is attributed to Peter Adolf Hall (1737-1811), a renowned Swedish painter and engraver. However, it is important to note that Hall is known primarily for his works in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and it is unclear if he was the creator of this particular piece. The influence of Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is evident in the portrait's grandeur and the king's regal pose. This historic figure comes alive in this beautifully preserved print, transporting us back to a time of royalty and grandeur. The portrait is now part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, a testament to the enduring legacy of Henry IV and the artistic talent of the creators involved in bringing his image to life.
