Henri II of France (1519-59) by (follower of) Clouet, Francois, is a notable portrait that captures the likeness of King Henri II, who reigned as the monarch of France from 1547 until his untimely death in 1559. This artwork is attributed to a follower of François Clouet, a prominent French Renaissance portraitist known for his detailed and realistic depictions of the French court. François Clouet himself was the son of Jean Clouet, another distinguished painter, and he continued his father's legacy by becoming the official court painter to King Francis I and later to Henri II.

The portrait of Henri II is a fine example of the meticulous style that characterizes the Clouet school of portraiture. It showcases the king in a dignified pose, adorned in regal attire that reflects his status and the fashion of the time. The attention to detail in the rendering of fabrics, textures, and the subtle play of light and shadow highlights the technical prowess of the artist. The king's facial features are depicted with a lifelike precision, capturing not only his physical appearance but also a sense of his personality and regal bearing.

Henri II's reign was marked by significant political and cultural developments, including the continuation of the Italian Wars and the strengthening of the French monarchy. His marriage to Catherine de' Medici and their subsequent offspring played crucial roles in the dynastic politics of Europe. The portrait thus serves not only as a visual record of the king's appearance but also as a historical document that offers insights into the period's artistic and cultural milieu.

While the exact date of the portrait's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during Henri II's reign, reflecting the artistic conventions and stylistic preferences of mid-16th century France. The work remains an important piece within the corpus of Renaissance portraiture and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
