EDITORS COMMENTS
Catherine de Medici (1519-1589): Queen of France and Wife of Henry II (1547-1559) This enchanting engraving captures the regal presence of Catherine de Medici, a woman of remarkable intellect, influence, and power during the Renaissance era. Born in Florence, Italy, in 1519, Catherine was the daughter of Lorenzo de' Medici, the powerful ruler of the Medici family. In 1533, she was married to Henry II of France, marking the beginning of her illustrious career as queen. The engraving depicts Catherine in an elegant and refined attire, adorned with jewels and a regal headdress. Her poised and confident demeanor exudes an air of sophistication and authority. The mirror in her hand is said to be a prophecy tool used by the astrologer Cosimo Ruggeri, or possibly Nostradamus, in 1559. The mirror was believed to have revealed the duration of the reigns of her three sons, Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III, who succeeded Henry II. Catherine's influence over her sons and the French court was significant, and she was known for her patronage of the arts, sciences, and literature. Her support of artists, writers, and musicians contributed to the flourishing of the French Renaissance. Catherine's legacy as a powerful and influential queen continues to captivate historians, artists, and scholars to this day. This vertical, upright, engraving is a testament to the scientific and artistic achievements of the 16th century, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Catherine de Medici on European history.
