EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Henri II of Navarre was wooing his future wife, Marguerite de Valois. The year was 1526, and their marriage would soon solidify their union as husband and wife. Henri II de Navarre, who reigned from 1517 until his passing in 1555, is depicted here with an air of charm and sophistication as he courts the elegant Marguerite.
Marguerite de Valois, born in 1492, would later become known as Marguerite de Navarre after her marriage to Henri II. Their love story unfolded against the backdrop of French royalty during the early 16th century. This image transports us back to the romantic atmosphere of the royal court in France during the 1520s.
The historical significance of this momentous occasion is palpable in this photograph. It serves as a reminder of a time when marriages were not only unions between individuals but also alliances between kingdoms. Henri II's pursuit of Marguerite showcases his determination to secure their future together amidst the complexities of royal politics.
