EDITORS COMMENTS
King Henri III of France, also known as Henry II of Navarre, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph from the "Historical Costumes of France" portfolio by Paul Lacroix. The illustration, created by Dunand after a portrait in Roger de Gaignières gallery, showcases the king in regal attire, wearing a richly decorated robe and a tall, ornate hat adorned with feathers. Henri III (1551-1589) reigned as King of France from 1574 until his assassination in 1589. He was the first king of the House of Bourbon to rule France and is known for his efforts to bring peace to the country after years of religious conflict. Despite his commitment to unity, Henri III faced numerous challenges during his reign, including the Wars of Religion and the rebellion of the Huguenots. The lithograph captures the king's strong and determined expression, reflecting the challenges he faced during his reign. The intricate details of his costume, from the elaborate embroidery on his robe to the delicate folds of his hat, demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship and attention to historical accuracy that characterized the "Historical Costumes of France" series. This beautiful print is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of France during the late 16th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and reign of one of its most intriguing monarchs.
