EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a solemn moment in history - the deathbed of King Charles IX of France. The print, created by French School artists in the 19th century, showcases the final moments of this influential monarch who reigned from 1550 to 1574. King Charles IX's frail figure lies on his deathbed, surrounded by somber figures paying their respects. The scene is filled with an air of melancholy as those present bid farewell to a ruler whose reign was marked by both triumphs and controversies. The image is taken from Maurice Lachatre's "History of the Popes (. . . ) Crimes of the Queen King and Emperors through the centuries" published in 1863. It serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of power and mortality itself. Stefano Bianchetti expertly engraved this historical moment, capturing every detail with precision. Through his skillful work, we are transported back to May 30,1574, witnessing firsthand the passing of one era into another. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but reflect on the legacy left behind by King Charles IX - a complex figure whose actions shaped not only France but also Europe as a whole. This artwork invites us to contemplate our own mortality and ponder how history will remember us when our time comes.
