EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the French kings and queens of the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the regal splendor and fashion of that era. The print features notable figures such as Francis I and his wife Claude of France, Henry II with Catherine de Medici, and Francis II alongside Mary Stuart. Each couple is depicted in their opulent attire, adorned with intricate details that reflect their status and power. The image is taken from "Les Rois et Reines de France" an illustrated publication by Maison Martinet in Paris during the late 19th century. It provides a visual narrative of French history through its depiction of monarchs spanning several generations. The costumes worn by these royal figures are indicative of the fashion trends prevalent during the 16th century. Men don doublets while women wear elegant dresses with elaborate designs. Hose completes the ensemble for both genders, adding to their majestic appearance. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme in Europe. This print not only serves as a testament to French culture but also highlights significant political alliances forged through marriage between different European nations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from its private collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind it while gaining insight into an important period in European history.
