EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Henry IV, the first Bourbon King of France. Created by renowned artist John Wedgwood in 1823, this portrait showcases the monarch's commanding stature and his significant role in French history. Henry IV, also known as Henri IV or Henry of Navarre, ruled during a tumultuous period marked by religious conflict. Born Protestant, he fought valiantly in the French Wars of Religion before ascending to the throne in 1594. In a remarkable act of reconciliation, Henry converted to Catholicism and signed the Edict of Nantes in 1598. This groundbreaking edict granted religious freedoms to Protestants and brought an end to years of civil war. The engraving depicts Henry IV dressed in royal attire with an elaborate ruff collar that symbolizes his authority. His piercing gaze reflects both strength and wisdom acquired through years of leadership. Through this print, Wedgwood masterfully captures not only Henry's physical likeness but also his complex journey from Protestant warrior to Catholic peacemaker. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this historical portrayal. As we admire this artwork today, let us remember King Henry IV for his pivotal role in shaping France's religious landscape and bringing unity amidst division.
