Entry of Henry IV into Paris (French: Entrée de Henri IV à Paris le 22 mars 1594) is an oil on canvas history painting by the French artist Francois Gérard, from 1817.

[2] It depicts Henry IV of France entering Paris for the first time as monarch on 22 March 1594.

The king had converted to Catholicism and declared that "Paris is worth a mass" in an attempt to end the French Wars of Religion.

[4] Although Gérard had enjoyed success during the Napoleonic era, he continued to flourish following the Bourbon Restoration of 1815.

For the restored monarchy Henry IV held deep symbolism as the first member of the House of Bourbon to reign.
