EDITORS COMMENTS
Henri IV, King of France (1553-1610), on horseback, 1596, by Thomas de Leu (Mary Evans Picture Library) This striking image captures the momentous occasion when Henri IV, the future King of France, rode into Paris on horseback in 1596, marking the end of the French Wars of Religion and the beginning of his reign. The print, created by the renowned artist Thomas de Leu, showcases the triumphant monarch in full regalia, holding a scepter in his right hand and a globe in his left, symbolizing his claim to the throne and his role as a world leader. Henri IV, born Henri de Bourbon, was the first Bourbon king of France. He ascended to the throne in 1589, following the assassination of his predecessor, Henry III. The Wars of Religion, which had been raging in France since 1562, had left the country devastated and divided. Henri IV, a Protestant, sought to unite the fractured kingdom by granting religious tolerance, known as the Edict of Nantes, which granted Protestants the right to practice their faith freely. The horseback ride into Paris on March 22, 1596, was a significant moment in French history. The city had been under siege for years, and Henri's entrance marked the end of the conflict and the beginning of a new era. The image of the king on horseback, with the city gates in the background, symbolizes his victory over the forces that had previously divided France. Thomas de Leu, a Flemish artist, was a master of equestrian portraits. This print, which dates from around 1610, is a testament to his skill in capturing the power and majesty of the monarch on horseback. The intricate details of the king's armor, the horse's muscular form, and the dynamic composition all contribute to a sense of grandeur and triumph. This print is an invaluable historical document, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history and the reign of a legendary king.
