An exceptionally rare Italian genealogical chart depicting the lineage of the Kings of France, printed in Florence in 1586 and rendered as a finely detailed hand-colored engraving on laid paper. Created during the height of Renaissance scholarship, the work reflects the era’s fascination with dynastic history, humanist study, and the visual organization of political power.

The engraving is enriched with delicate period hand-coloring, carefully applied to distinguish royal lines and heraldic elements, while the laid paper reveals its characteristic texture and chain lines—hallmarks of 16th-century printmaking. Both historically informative and visually compelling, the chart embodies the intellectual artistry of Renaissance Florence, where history and design were inseparably linked.

Now presented floating within a newly crafted gilded frame, the composition allows the edges of the historic sheet to remain visible, emphasizing authenticity and preserving its archival character. Scholarly yet decorative, this remarkable work serves as both historical document and refined wall piece, bringing Renaissance elegance and narrative depth to a curated interior.
