EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print showcases Catherine de Medici, the influential Queen of Henry II of France during the 16th century. Painted by Thomas de Leu in 1894, this portrait captures Catherine's regal presence and her significant role as a regent on behalf of their sons Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III. Catherine de Medici was not only known for her beauty but also for her political prowess and religious influence. As a devout Catholic in a time marked by religious conflict, she played an instrumental part in navigating the French Religious Wars that plagued the country during her reign. Dressed in exquisite fashion befitting her royal status, Catherine stands as a symbol of power and elegance. Her elaborate ruff collar adds to her majestic aura while reflecting the fashion trends of the era. This artwork transports us back to a pivotal period in history when monarchs held immense authority over their realms. It serves as a reminder of Catherine's enduring legacy as one of France's most notable queens. The print collector29 has preserved this historical gem from A Collection of Engraved Portraits (Further Selection), exhibited at London's New Library and Museum in November 1872. Through this colorization process, we are granted a glimpse into the vibrant world that once existed within black-and-white prints like these - breathing new life into our understanding of past civilizations.
