EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the momentous event of Marie de Medici's coronation as Queen of France in 1610, following King Henry IV's decision to abandon his previous marriage to Marguerite de Valois. The image captures the grandeur and splendor of the occasion, with Marie, dressed in her regal attire, being crowned by Cardinal de Bourbon at the Abbey of Saint-Denis. The print, dated 1610, is a testament to the historical significance of this pivotal moment in French history. However, it is important to note that the marriage between Henry IV and Marie de Medici actually took place in 1600, making the print's date a misprint. Henry IV's decision to marry Marie de Medici was a strategic move aimed at strengthening the monarchy's alliances with Italy and the powerful Medici family. The previous marriage to Marguerite de Valois, the sister of the late King Henry III, had been childless and marked by political instability and infidelity. The coronation of Marie de Medici at Saint-Denis was a grand affair, attended by the nobility and clergy of France. The event marked the beginning of a new chapter in French history, with Marie de Medici becoming a powerful and influential queen consort. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulence and pageantry of the French court during the early 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the complex political dynamics that shaped the monarchy during this period and the role of alliances and strategic marriages in shaping European history.
