EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an allegorical representation of King Henri IV of France (1553-1610), who is famously known as the "Good King Henri," as the savior of France. The image, created in 1594, is titled "The Deliverance of France by the French Perseus," and it beautifully encapsulates the historical events and symbolism of Henri IV's reign. Henri IV is depicted as the heroic figure of Perseus, the mythological Greek hero who saved Andromeda from the sea monster. In this allegory, Henri IV is shown slaying the dragon, which symbolizes the chaos and turmoil that France had experienced during the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants. With one hand, he holds the severed head of the dragon, while in the other, he raises the flag of France, signifying his victory and the restoration of peace and unity in the kingdom. The background of the print is adorned with various allegorical figures representing virtues such as Justice, Prudence, and Fortitude. The Virgin Mary and St. Louis, the patron saints of France, are also present, emphasizing the king's strong connection to the Catholic faith and his commitment to protecting the people of France. The print is a powerful visual testament to the transformative impact of Henri IV's reign on French history. He was the first Bourbon king of France and the last Valois king of Navarre. His rule marked the end of the religious wars and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity for France. The Deliverance of France by the French Perseus is an enduring symbol of Henri IV's legacy as a savior and unifier of his people.
