EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Emmanuel Blanche in 1914, transports us back to the 16th century where we witness a significant moment in history. King Henry II of France (1519-1559) is depicted arriving at the forest of Fontainebleau for a hunting expedition. The scene captures the excitement and anticipation as the king prepares to shoot down an agony deer. The forest of Fontainebleau, known for its lush landscapes and abundant wildlife, provided the perfect backdrop for this royal leisure activity. Hunting was not only a popular pastime but also symbolized power and prowess during this era. As King Henry II emerges from his horse-drawn carriage, he exudes regality with his elaborate attire befitting his status. Blanche's masterful engraving technique brings depth and detail to every element of the composition. From the intricate folds of King Henry II's garments to the majestic presence of the deer in distress, each stroke adds life to this historical moment frozen in time. This print offers viewers a glimpse into French history while highlighting both nature's beauty and man's pursuit of adventure. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art has an incredible ability to transport us across time and immerse us in different worlds.
