"Henry V Conversing With Princess Catherine" is a historical painting by the Belgian artist Baron Henri Leys (also known as Hendrik Leys), created in 1861. The artwork is a romanticized depiction of a scene from William Shakespeare's play "Henry V," where the English king Henry V woos Princess Catherine of Valois after the Battle of Agincourt. Leys was known for his meticulous attention to historical detail and his romantic approach to the past, which is evident in this painting.

The painting showcases Leys' fascination with the medieval period and his skill in portraying historical figures and settings with a sense of authenticity. In the scene, the characters are dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the artist's research into the fashion and style of the early 15th century. The interaction between Henry and Catherine is portrayed with a blend of formality and intimacy, capturing the complexity of their relationship as depicted in Shakespeare's play.

Leys' work is characterized by its fine brushwork, rich color palette, and the incorporation of architectural and decorative elements that enhance the narrative quality of the scene. "Henry V Conversing With Princess Catherine" is a prime example of Leys' historical genre paintings, which contributed to the Romantic movement's revival of interest in the medieval past during the 19th century.

The painting is part of the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, where it is displayed among other works by the artist. Henri Leys' contribution to Belgian art and the Romantic movement has been recognized through his influence on later artists and his role in shaping the visual interpretation of historical events and literature in the 19th century.
