"Soft construction with boiled beans: a premonition of the Civil War"
Salvador Dali, 1936.
The shape of this monster resembles the geographical outlines of Spain - and this resemblance is by no means accidental. It was impossible to come up with a more vivid and more powerful allegory of a country gripped by hatred, thirsty for blood and ready to start a fratricidal massacre.

Unknown artist "Gabrielle d'Estre and her sister", 16th century
This painting by an unknown artist depicts Henry IV's mistress Gabrielle d'Estre and her sister Julienne. The ring Gabrielle d'Estre is holding is not on her finger as a married woman. She never got to be the king's consort because she died just a few days before her wedding. The bathtub symbolizes death, as in the last minutes of the king's favorite's life, the doctor placed her in a tub of water to ease her pain. It was there that she died. The seamstress in the background is sewing the funeral dress. The woman holding Gabrielle by the breast nipple is Marguerite de Valois (Henry IV's first wife). This gesture symbolizes the fact that Gabrielle d'Estre bore the king children, while Marguerite de Valois did not.
