EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The Marriage of Henry VI of England and Margaret of Anjou in 1445". The coloured engraving, created by the French School in the 18th century, showcases a significant union between two powerful rulers. Henry VI, who reigned from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, was not only King of England but also disputed King of France during his rule. Prior to assuming full control, regents governed his realm until 1437. In this image, we witness Henry's marriage to Margaret of Anjou (1430-82), a pivotal event that solidified their alliance. The scene depicts a regal court setting with various courtiers and witnesses surrounding the couple as they exchange vows. A priest conducts the ceremony while monks and clergy members stand nearby, emphasizing the religious significance of this matrimonial bond. The portrait exudes medieval charm with its stylized depiction of royalty and traditional attire worn by all present. It offers us a glimpse into an era when marriages were strategic alliances aimed at strengthening political ties between nations. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this historical moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. This print serves as a testament to both love and power intertwined within royal households during this period in British history.
