Commentary


Il s’agit ici de deux plaques en étain bronzé, cerclées par une monture ou armature à deux rebords tenant ainsi les deux plaques délimitées par le grènetis. L’exemplaire a été percé anciennement, probablement pour l’accrocher à un mur, telle une assiette décorative ou un tableau.

Historical background


MARIE DE' MEDICI

(1573-1642)

Marie de Médicis (1573-1642), daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, François, married Henri IV on December 17, 1600 in Lyon. Marie was not crowned until May 13, 1610, the day before Henry IV died. Louis XIII, born on September 27, 1601, was then a minor. Marie was declared regent and Louis was crowned on October 17, 1610. On November 20, 1614, he was declared of age, but left the government to his mother, who called together the States General on October 27, 1614. When Concini, the Marshal of Ancre, was assassinated on April 24, 1617, the queen lost the regency and was exiled to Blois. She returned to grace through Richelieu in 1619. Marie de Medici rose again against her son in 1620 and took part in the day of the Dupes in November 1630 to force the king to separate from Richelieu. The king chooses the minister against his mother. She left France in 1631 never to return, took refuge in Holland and died in exile in Cologne on July 3, 1642..
