EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in French history, as Henri III lies on his deathbed after being fatally stabbed by the fanatically Catholic monk Jacques Clement. Despite the chaos and tragedy of the scene, there is a sense of continuity and hope as Henri III recognizes Henri of Navarre as his successor, who would go on to become Henri IV.
The expressions on the faces of both men tell a story of betrayal, loyalty, and determination. The dying king's gaze is fixed on his chosen heir with a mix of resignation and trust, while Henri IV's expression shows a mixture of sadness for his friend's passing and resolve to carry on his legacy.
The events depicted in this image took place on August 1st, 1589, marking a turning point in French politics and religion. The struggle between Catholics and Protestants was at its peak during this time, with tensions running high throughout the country.
As we look at this print today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in order to shape the world we live in now. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great turmoil and uncertainty, there can still be moments of clarity and purpose that guide us forward.
