EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the moment of triumph as Henry IV of France, formerly Henry III of Navarre, enters the city of Rouen in 1596. Born in 1553, Henry began his reign as King of Navarre in 1572, but it was not until 1589 that he ascended to the throne of France following the death of Henry III. Henry was a pivotal figure in the complex religious landscape of 16th-century Europe, as he was a Huguenot (Protestant) in a predominantly Catholic country. The image shows Henry IV, dressed in royal attire and mounted on horseback, making his way into Rouen, which was a significant Catholic stronghold. The crowd gathered along the streets, some cheering and waving, while others appear skeptical or even hostile. Henry's entry into the city marked a turning point in the French Wars of Religion, as he worked to bring peace and unity to the fractured kingdom. The vibrant colors of the engraving bring the scene to life, highlighting the rich textures of the clothing and the intricate details of the architecture. The House of Bourbon, of which Henry was a member, played a crucial role in French history, and this image serves as a testament to the complexities and challenges of the time. Henry IV's reign is remembered as a period of relative peace and stability, and this engraving offers a glimpse into the political and religious tensions that shaped the Europe of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
