EDITORS COMMENTS
Francis I (1494-1547), King of France (1515-1547), is depicted in this 16th century engraving held at the Museo Militar in Madrid. The image, created in the 19th century with later coloration, showcases the regal elegance and refined sophistication of the Valois-Angouleme monarch. Born on September 12, 1494, in Cognac, France, Francis I ascended to the throne in 1515 following the death of his father, King Louis XII. Known for his patronage of the arts, Francis I was a significant figure during the European Renaissance, fostering a cultural reawakening in France. The engraving captures the king in his regal attire, adorned with a richly decorated costume, complete with a voluminous, fur-trimmed robe, and an elaborate headdress, symbolizing his royal status. The intricate details of his hat, featuring a tall, conical shape and a prominent feather, are a testament to the opulence of the era. Francis I is often remembered for his diplomatic skills and military prowess, leading France to several victories against its European rivals. His reign marked a turning point in French history, as he transformed the monarchy into a centralized, powerful institution. This enchanting portrait, with its vibrant modern coloration, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the French monarchy during the Renaissance period. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Francis I, a monarch who left an indelible mark on European history.
