EDITORS COMMENTS
Francois Bunel's captivating image, "Procession of the League on Ile de la Cite, just outside Notre-Dame, c1590," transports us back to the vibrant and tumultuous 16th century in Paris. The Fourth Arrondissement's Ile de la Cite, home to the historic Notre-Dame Cathedral, serves as the backdrop for this intriguing tableau. The Procession of the Catholic League, led by the charismatic Duke of Guise, Henry I, is depicted in full regalia, with a sea of archers and bowmen following closely behind. The League, a powerful political and military alliance of Catholic nobles, was formed to counter the growing influence of the Protestant Huguenots during the French Religious Wars. The baroque era comes alive in this richly colored image, with the duke and his men dressed in ornate armor and banners bearing the emblems of the League. Musicians accompany the procession, adding to the festive atmosphere. The duke, Henri de Lorraine, Duke of Guise, is shown on horseback, leading the way with a determined expression. The Procession of the League was a significant event in French history, and this painting by Francois Bunel provides a unique glimpse into the past. Bunel, known as "Le Balafre," was a prominent artist of the time, and his mastery of copper engraving is evident in the intricate details and contrasting textures of this stunning work. Today, this historic image can be found in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, a testament to the enduring legacy of French art and history.
