Dupre, Guillaume (ca.1576-1643)
Cast bronze medallion of Henri IV and Marie de Medici, Paris, France, 1605. D: 193mm. Inv. CM 1988,0628.1.   - The period preceding the coronation of Henri IV (1553-1610) as king of France in 1589 was one of great turbulence. His accession as king was not unifying. Henri's second marriage to Marie de Medici (1573-1642) in 1600 and the birth of an heir (later Louis XIII) in 1601 helped to quell uncertainty. Henri commissioned versions of this medal in silver and gold in 1602/3 to celebrate the birth of the dauphin Louis. Guillaume Dupré gained permission to make variants of the work of which this bronze medal version is an example, with the date of 1605 under the King's arm.
