EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of Francois I as a young man, dating back to 1566. Created by the talented Master of The Hours of Henri II, this artwork is part of an illuminated manuscript called "Recueil des rois de France" by Jean du Tillet. Dedicated to Charles IX, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into the life and reign of Francis I, the first King of France from the Angouleme branch of the House of Valois. Housed in the esteemed Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, this image exudes regality and grandeur. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a royal library, Francois I stands confidently with his majestic lion companion by his side. The vibrant green hues add an element of richness and sophistication to this colorful portrait. With his crown and sceptre symbolizing his sovereignty, Francois I commands attention as he sits upon his ornate throne. This 16th-century illumination beautifully captures the essence and power that defined French monarchy during that era. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Verve magazine's archives in July-October 1939, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and artistic brilliance that continues to captivate audiences even after centuries have passed.
