EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a caricature of Henri IV (1553-1610) and the iconic French dish, "la poule au pot". Created by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of the renowned book "Histoire de France Tintamarresque" by Touchatout, published in 1872. Henri IV, also known as Henry of Navarre, was a beloved king who ruled France during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He is famously associated with his proclamation that every peasant should have a chicken in their pot on Sundays. This declaration symbolized his commitment to improving the lives of ordinary people and ensuring their access to basic necessities. In this caricature, Henri IV is depicted with humor and charm. The artist's skillful drawing captures his distinctive features while adding a touch of playfulness to his character. The inclusion of "la poule au pot" a traditional French dish made with chicken simmered in broth along with vegetables, emphasizes Henri IV's connection to the common people. This print not only showcases artistic talent but also offers insight into an important period in French history. It serves as a reminder of Henri IV's legacy as a compassionate ruler who prioritized the welfare of his subjects.
