Wapenschild geflankeerd door twee engelen met een lauwerkrans 1598

This woodcut, created by Jost Amman in 1598, depicts the coat of arms of the French monarchy. It showcases a shield with fleurs-de-lis, a crown, and two angels holding a laurel wreath. The detailed imagery and inscription reflect Amman's meticulous attention to detail and interest in heraldry, a popular subject in 16th-century art. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the historical significance of symbols and their role in representing power and lineage.
