The House of Valois: A Tale of Power, Romance, and Intrigue Step into the captivating world of the House of Valois, a dynasty that shaped the course of European history. From Catherine de' Medici's influential reign to Charles IX's tumultuous rule, this noble family left an indelible mark on France. In lithographic brilliance, we witness Catherine de' Medici standing beside her son Charles IX. Their regal presence exudes power and authority as they navigate a treacherous political landscape. Meanwhile, Boccaccio's miniature painting praises the virtues of noblemen and clerics in their pursuit of honor and chivalry. Love knows no boundaries within the House of Valois. Henry V ardently courts Katherine of Valois in Shakespeare's enchanting play brought to life through chromolithography. Their union symbolizes unity between England and France amidst turbulent times. Political alliances are forged as King Charles VIII receives Pope Alexander VI and his ambitious son Cesare Borgia with grandeur fit for royalty. This meeting signifies both cooperation and intrigue as these powerful figures maneuvered through shifting alliances. Artistic masterpieces capture key moments in Valois history. Isabella Lattocks embodies Princess Catherine from Henry V with grace in an exquisite engraving from 1775. The vibrant colors bring her character to life while showcasing Shakespeare's enduring impact on culture. Francis I stands tall alongside Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in a vivid lithograph from Histoire de France. These two formidable rulers engage in a delicate dance for supremacy during a time when Europe was at its most volatile. Benvenuto Cellini graces Francois I's court as an esteemed sculptor, highlighting the king's patronage for artistry during his illustrious reign captured beautifully by an engraving from 1866. However, not all chapters were filled with triumphs; defeat loomed over Francois I at Pavia, where he was taken prisoner.
