Henri II, King of France, at the age of 28, 1547. Comparing Renaissance princes with distinguished ancient leaders was a common theme in laudatory speeches, literature, and art. In commemoration of Henri II?s coronation as King of France (reigned 1547-59), Nicolo della Casa portrayed the monarch as a valiant Roman general. Crowned with a laurel wreath, the king?s head is in full profile, the traditional format used on ancient coins and engraved gems. He wears a muscled ceremonial cuirass, its breastplate heavily ornamented with war trophies, mermaids, and fighting tritons. The historicized armor, derived from antique imperial portraits and figures of the war-god Mars, creates a powerful and timeless image of the French sovereign.
