"The Wedding of Henri de Bourbon, King of Navarre to Marguerite de Valois in the presence of Catherine de Medici and Charles IX in 1572" is a historical painting by French artist Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard (1825–1902). This artwork captures a pivotal moment in French history, depicting the marriage between Huguenot King Henri de Bourbon (later Henry IV of France) and the Catholic Marguerite de Valois, sister of King Charles IX. The wedding, which took place on August 18, 1572, was orchestrated by the queen mother, Catherine de Medici, as a political union intended to reconcile Catholics and Protestants amidst the religious conflicts of the French Wars of Religion.

Lechevallier-Chevignard, known for his historical and genre paintings, meticulously portrays the grandeur and tension of the event. The painting is significant for its detailed representation of the period's costumes and the intricate dynamics among the French royalty and nobility. The artist's work serves as a visual exploration of the political and religious complexities of the era, with the wedding being a prelude to the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which occurred just days later and resulted in the murder of thousands of Huguenots.

The painting is an example of 19th-century French academic art, reflecting the period's interest in historical accuracy and dramatic narrative. Lechevallier-Chevignard's attention to detail and his ability to convey the solemnity and underlying tensions of the scene contribute to the painting's historical value and artistic merit. The work is an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the societal and political landscape of 16th-century France as interpreted through the lens of a 19th-century artist.
