EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, created by Francois Bunel the Younger around 1590, captures the Procession of the Catholic League on l'ile de la Cite, leaving Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The League, led by the powerful Duke of Guise, Henri de Lorraine, was a formidable political and military force during the French religious wars. The procession, filled with men and women dressed in armor, marched through the streets of the city in a show of unity and defiance against the Protestant Huguenots. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition of the print transport us back to the Baroque era, a time of grandeur and opulence in European history. The Duke of Guise, depicted in the foreground on horseback, leads the procession with a sense of authority and determination. The women, dressed in rich fabrics and adorned with jewelry, follow behind, their faces expressive and resolute. The Procession of the League on l'ile de la Cite was a significant event in the history of France and European Christianity. It represented the strength and power of the Catholic Church and its followers during a time of religious and political turmoil. The print, now housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to the rich heritage and cultural significance of this period in history. The image, with its intricate details and historic significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in European history, art, or religion. The Procession of the League on l'ile de la Cite is a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring influence of religious and political institutions on society.
