EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving captures a unique and intriguing moment in the life of King Henry III (1551 - 1589) and his companions. The king, seated at the back, exudes an air of regal elegance while surrounded by his "cuties". Quelus and Maugiron, positioned at his feet, braid ribbons with skillful hands. Schomberg engages in the art of tapestry-making, showcasing his artistic talents. O and Epernon peer through openings with curiosity and anticipation. However, it is Chicot who steals the spotlight as he sits atop one of the doormen. His mischievous expression hints at a playful personality that adds a touch of humor to this royal scene. The engraving offers us a glimpse into both the opulence and complexity of court life during this period. It also alludes to aspects of King Henry III's personal life that were considered controversial for their time – namely homosexuality. Created by an unknown artist but brought to light by Stefano Bianchetti, this print serves as a historical artifact that invites viewers to reflect on societal norms throughout history. As we admire this image from centuries past, we are reminded that even within royal circles, love takes many forms.
