Francois Ravaillac is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a bearded man in a dark hat pointing at something, surrounded by four small scenes in circles. The top scenes include a battle and a shipwreck; the bottom ones show a castle under attack and a fire. The background has fancy swirls, Latin text, and the name "Francois Ravaillac" at the top. The man’s face looks intense, and the scenes around him suggest drama or punishment. The Latin text and dramatic images fit the Romantic style, which loved big emotions and dark stories.
