EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait sculpture depicts Henri IV of France, also known as "Henri le Grand" or "Good King Henri," who ruled from 1589 to 1610. The sculpture, created by Barthelemy Prieur around 1601-1603, is a testament to the king's regal presence and charisma. The bronze bust sits atop an original brass inlaid wood socle, adding an elegant and ornate touch to the piece. Henri IV was a significant figure in European history, particularly in France, where he brought an end to the religious wars and ushered in a period of relative peace and prosperity. His reign is often referred to as the "Golden Age" of the French monarchy. The sculpture captures the king's strong, masculine features, with a confident and resolute expression that speaks to his leadership qualities. The intricate details of the clothing and the realistic rendering of the hair and facial features are characteristic of the Baroque era, which emphasized grandeur and drama. This portrait sculpture is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a cherished addition to their collection of European art from the 17th century. The piece is a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of Europe and the enduring influence of its monarchs.
