This 1549 woodcut by Jean Goujon is a depiction of Henry II's entry into Paris. The book is part of a series of woodcuts detailing the king's procession through the city. The piece's simple lines and dramatic light and shadow lend a sense of depth and movement to the scene, characteristic of Goujon's work. This artwork was part of a book published in 1549 in Paris and serves as a primary source historical document. It was likely commissioned by the French court and is a testament to the power and grandeur of the French monarchy.
