Painting Description
"Assassination of Henri IV by Francois Ravaillac in the rue de la Ferronerie on 14th May 1610" is a historical painting by Jacques Onfray de Breville, commonly known as JOB, a French illustrator and painter. The artwork depicts the tragic moment when King Henry IV of France was murdered by François Ravaillac, a Catholic zealot, in Paris. This event marked a significant turning point in French history, leading to the ascension of Louis XIII to the throne and the regency of Marie de' Medici.
The painting is a detailed representation of the chaotic scene in the narrow street of Rue de la Ferronnerie, where the royal carriage was halted due to a blockage, allowing the assassin to approach and fatally stab the king. JOB's work captures the horror and confusion of the bystanders, the determined visage of Ravaillac, and the vulnerability of the monarch at the moment of the attack.
Jacques Onfray de Breville's artistic style is characterized by his meticulous attention to historical detail and his ability to convey the drama of significant events. His illustration of the assassination of Henri IV is no exception, offering viewers a vivid glimpse into the past. The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual historical record, reflecting the artist's commitment to portraying the pivotal moments that shaped the course of French history.
As an illustrator, JOB contributed to various publications and books throughout his career, and his works often included scenes from French history, military subjects, and illustrations for children's literature. The "Assassination of Henri IV" stands as a testament to his skill in historical illustration and his dedication to capturing the essence of France's rich and tumultuous past.
