During the Renaissance as in the Middle Ages, heraldry was present in all places and in all layers of society: it was both a marker of identity and a mirror that reflected mentalities.
Combining texts of a wide variety of themes with a large selection of artworks of all techniques, this work aims to shed light on the different forms of use throughout the French 16th century . Coats of arms, mottoes, emblems, numbers and liveries, far from being an exclusive and encrypted language, compose a shimmering ensemble that accompanies exceptional moments as well as the decor of everyday life.
