EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning tapestry titled "The Tournament, Brussels Workshop" created by Lucas de Heere in the late 16th century. The tapestry depicts a lively scene from the French court, showcasing various figures engaged in a thrilling jousting competition. From left to right, we see Henri III d Albret, future Henri IV de Navarre, Marguerite de Valois (known as La Reine Margot), and the dwarf Jan Krassowski. Previously attributed to Francois Quesnel, this masterpiece now resides in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence. The image showcases an array of captivating elements such as riders on horseback clad in elaborate armor, spectators watching with anticipation, and even a jester adding humor to the event. The composition also includes Catherine de Medicis mourning dress as she observes the tournament alongside her husband King Henri III. This artwork not only offers entertainment but also provides insights into 16th-century European royalty and their love for extravagant tournaments. It is fascinating to witness how these events brought together people from different backgrounds and social statuses for moments of excitement and competition. With its intricate details captured beautifully in photography, this print serves as a window into history – transporting us back to an era filled with grandeur, power struggles, and artistic excellence.
