"Henri II (1519-59) Giving the Chain of the Order of Saint-Michel to Gaspard de Saulx, Count of Tavannes, after the Battle of Renty, 13th August 1554" is a historical painting completed in 1789 by the French artist Nicolas Guy Brenet. The artwork commemorates a significant event from the Italian Wars, where Gaspard de Saulx, a prominent military figure and Count of Tavannes, was honored by King Henri II of France for his valor during the Battle of Renty.

The painting captures the moment when Henri II, who reigned from 1547 to 1559, bestows the prestigious Order of Saint-Michel upon de Saulx. The Order of Saint-Michel was a chivalric order founded by Louis XI of France in 1469 and was one of the highest honors in France, often given to individuals who demonstrated exceptional service to the Crown.

Brenet's work is an example of late 18th-century French historical painting, a genre that sought to depict scenes from French history with an emphasis on drama and moral instruction. The artist's attention to detail in the costumes and setting reflects the academic standards of the time, which favored historical accuracy and classical composition.

Nicolas Guy Brenet (1728–1792) was a respected history painter and a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. His works often dealt with historical and mythological subjects, and he was known for his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.

The painting serves not only as an artistic representation of a historical event but also as a reflection of the values and interests of the period in which it was created, on the eve of the French Revolution. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Italian Wars and the chivalric ideals that continued to inspire artists and nobility alike in the years leading up to the modern era.
