EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures a Member of the King's Swiss Guard during the reign of King Henry III of France in 1586. The intricate details of his costume, from the doublet to the hose, showcase the opulence and grandeur of French royal attire during this period.
The portrait is based on an original work found in Roger de Gaignieres' gallery portfolio IX 152, which was later included in Paul Lacroix's renowned publication "Costumes Historique de la France" in 1852. The artist has skillfully brought out the rich colors and textures of the guard's uniform, highlighting every intricate detail with precision.
As a member of the elite Swiss Guard tasked with protecting King Henry III, this soldier would have been a formidable presence at court. Armed with a halberd and scimitar, he exudes strength and loyalty to his monarch.
This print not only serves as a historical record but also as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such elaborate costumes for members of royalty. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when fashion played an important role in defining one's status and allegiance at court.
