1518 1562 Antoine Bourbon Henri Jeanne Married Navarre Vendome Albret
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Vendome (1518-1562), at the height of his power and prestige. Antoine was the eldest son of Louis III, Duke of Bourbon, and made history when he married Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, in 1551. With this union, Antoine became King of Navarre, a small but strategically important kingdom in the Pyrenees. The image showcases Antoine's regal bearing and sophisticated attire, with his fur-trimmed robe and elegant ruff collar. His piercing gaze and well-groomed beard suggest a strong and determined leader. The background, adorned with rich fabrics and ornate furnishings, further emphasizes his royal status. Antoine's marriage to Jeanne d'Albret was a significant political alliance, as Navarre was a valuable buffer state between France and Spain during the European power struggles of the time. Antoine and Jeanne had one son, Henri IV, who would go on to become King of France in 1589, marking the end of the Valois dynasty and the beginning of the Bourbon monarchy. This portrait offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the European court during the Renaissance period. Antoine de Bourbon's legacy as a powerful and influential ruler continues to be celebrated in French history, making this image a fascinating and important historical artifact.
