Henri II (1519-59) c.1536 is a distinguished portrait attributed to the studio of the renowned French Renaissance painter Jean Clouet. This artwork captures Henri II of France, who reigned as King from 1547 until his untimely death in 1559. The portrait is believed to have been created around 1536, during Henri's tenure as the Dauphin of France, a period marked by his preparation for future kingship and his marriage to Catherine de' Medici in 1533.

Jean Clouet, often referred to as Jean Clouet the Elder, was a prominent court painter known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Although the exact authorship of this portrait remains uncertain, it is widely accepted that it was produced within Clouet's workshop, which was known for its high-quality and consistent output. The studio's collaborative nature means that while Clouet may have overseen the work, it could have been executed by one of his skilled apprentices or assistants.

The portrait of Henri II is a testament to the artistic conventions of the French Renaissance, characterized by its realistic representation and fine detail. Henri is depicted in a manner befitting his royal status, adorned in luxurious attire that reflects his noble lineage and the opulence of the French court. The intricate detailing of his garments, the lifelike rendering of his facial features, and the subtle use of light and shadow all contribute to the painting's overall sense of realism and grandeur.

This portrait not only serves as a visual record of Henri II's appearance but also provides insight into the cultural and political milieu of 16th-century France. It reflects the importance of portraiture in asserting and legitimizing royal authority, as well as the role of art in documenting and commemorating historical figures. Today, Henri II (1519-59) c.1536 remains an important piece of art historical scholarship, offering a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of France's notable monarchs.
