This article examines how Protestant and Catholic elites in early seventeenth-century France memorialized the Wars of Religion in purpose-built picture galleries. Postwar France remained a divided nation, and portrait galleries offered a sectarian memory of the conflict, glorifying party heroes. Historical picture galleries, on the other hand, promoted a shared memory of the wars, focusing on King Henry IV’s successful campaign against the Catholic League to unite the kingdom. This article argues that postwar elites made a sincere effort to manage religious tensions by allowing partisan memories to circulate in private while promoting a consensual memory in public.

在 17 世纪早期的法国画廊中纪念宗教战争：新教徒和天主教徒描绘有争议的过去

本文探讨了 17 世纪早期法国的新教和天主教精英如何在专门建造的画廊中纪念宗教战争。战后的法国仍然是一个分裂的国家，肖像画廊提供了对冲突的宗派记忆，美化了党派英雄。另一方面，历史图片画廊促进了对战争的共同记忆，重点关注国王亨利四世成功反对天主教联盟以统一王国。本文认为，战后精英通过允许党派记忆私下传播，同时在公共场合促进共识记忆，为管理宗教紧张局势做出了真诚的努力。
