EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the attack of Jean Chatel on 27 December 1594. In this dramatic illustration by Hermann Vogel, we witness the audacious attempt to assassinate King Henry IV during a royal audience at Gabrielle d'Estree's hotel. Jean Chatel, driven by his own motives and perhaps influenced by political unrest, managed to infiltrate the premises with sinister intentions. The tension is palpable as he confronts the king, poised for action. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the chaos and uncertainty of that fateful day. Henry IV, known for his resilience and charisma, narrowly escaped this treacherous assault that aimed to end his reign prematurely. This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those in positions of power throughout history. Vogel's masterful depiction not only showcases his artistic prowess but also preserves an important moment in time. Through this image, we are transported back to an era filled with intrigue and danger where even royalty was not safe from assassination attempts. As we gaze upon this striking artwork today, let us reflect on the fragility of power and appreciate those who have fought tirelessly to protect it throughout history.
