EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Henry IV, King of France, in the 19th century. Painted by Porlus and engraved by Thomas A Woolnoth, this portrait showcases the iconic monarch who played a significant role in French history. Henry IV's journey to power was marked by religious conflict as he fought in the French Wars of Religion. However, upon ascending the throne in 1589, he made a pivotal decision that would bring peace to his kingdom. Despite being Protestant himself, Henry converted to Catholicism and signed the Edict of Nantes in 1598. This groundbreaking decree granted religious freedoms to Protestants and effectively ended years of strife. In this print, King Henry IV is depicted with a distinguished beard and wearing traditional royal attire. His commanding presence exudes strength and authority befitting a ruler of his stature. The intricate details captured by Woolnoth's engraving technique add depth to this monochrome masterpiece. As you gaze upon this historic image, let it serve as a reminder of King Henry IV's legacy - one that encompasses both political prowess and an unwavering commitment to bringing harmony among his people during turbulent times.
