	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jehan Fouquet
		Fouquet was the contemporary of Joan of Arc, and his character is as national as that of the heroine herself.
		Still another of Fouquet's portraits must be mentioned: the bust of a young man (Lichtenstein collection), dated 1456, which is admirable in the intensity of touch displayed in the colour scheme, with its greyish tone and deliberate reserve.
		Fouquet was not at all naïf, as has been too frequently asserted, when in the scene of the Epiphany he substituted for one of the Magi of history the portrait of King Charles VII, in a mantle ornamented with fleurs-de-lis, surrounded by his guards and rendering homage to the Blessed Virgin.

		Fouquet was patronized by the highest classes, as his home city of Tours was the preferred residence of the French royal court.
		Fouquet was one of the first Northern artists to recognize and incorporate the artistic innovations of fifteenth-century Italy into the prevailing Franco-Flemish style, as manifested in the combination of monumentality and descriptive detail seen here.
		Fouquet's sheet is also an early survival of the portrait drawing genre, which gained great importance and popularity in France in the sixteenth century.

		One of Fouquet's most striking works, from about 1450, is the portrait of his patron, Étienne Chevalier, seen praying with St Stephen and painted as one half of a diptych for a church in Melun.
		The colourful elegance of Fouquet's scenes develops the tradition of the miniatures of northern Burgundy and of the Limburg brothers, masters of the International Gothic style.

	French Art - Painters Of The Renaissance
		The earliest known French portrait is that of Le roi Jean (1350-1364), a miniature painted on a figured (gaufré) gold background.
		It is not, however, until the middle of the 15th century, that this art bursts into sudden life under the influence of that great master, Jean Fouquet, whose journey to Italy in 1440 was the touchstone of the French Renaissance.
		Fouquet's favourite Orange Vermilion, which is found in nearly all his work, only appears in the frame of flaming seraphim round the golden figure representing God the Father above ; and in one sword sheath in the foreground—a most telling and subtle touch.

	Biography
		Much has been made of this Italian journey, the influence of which can be detected in the perspective essays and Classical architecture of his subsequent works, but the strongly scrulptural character of his painting, which was deeply rooted in his native tradition, did not succumb to Italian influence.
		His first patron was Étienne Chevalier, the royal secretary and lord treasurer, for whom he produced a Book of Hours (1450-60), now dismembered but mainly in the Museé Condé at Chantilly, and who appears in the Diptych of Melun (c.
		It was not until 1475 that Fouquet became Royal Painter (to Louis XI), but in the previous year he was asked to prepare designs for the king's tomb, and he must have been the leading court artist for many years.

		Jean Fouquet (1415-1480), the dates of his birth and death are approximate, was trained as an illuminator by Flemish-Bergundian masters, possibly the Limbourg brothers, the most famous of all late Gothic illuminators, who illuminated Les très riches heures du Duc de Berry.
		Among the volumes illuminated by Fouquet are Antiquités Judaïques (about 1470) in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris; Histoire Ancienne (after 1470), in the Louvre; and Book of Hours of Etienne Cevalier (1453-1460), in the Mussé Condé at Chantilly.

		Rarely, in art history, the icon of the Holy Mary coexists with a kind of "breast-implant voluptuousness" as in the case of Jean Fouquet's "The Virgin and Child", part of the Melun diptych now divided between Antwerp and Berlin.
		Far from the conventional, pious image of the "Mater Dolorosa", Fouquet's unusual Madonna displays the features of Agnes Sorel, also known as "La Belle Agnès", a popular courtesan at the court of the French king Charles VII, whose sexual favors were equally shared by the king and his royal secretary, Etienne Chevalier.
		Much has been made of this Italian journey, the influence of which can be detected in the perspective essays and Classical architecture of his subsequent works, but the strongly sculptural character of his painting, which was deeply rooted in his native tradition, did not succumb to Italian influence.

	Malaspina Great Books - Jean Fouquet (c. 1420-1480)
		Some critics are inclined to believe that he made a second journey, for they find it hard to believe that Fouquet never saw the Lives of St. Lawrence and St. Stephen by Fra Angelico in the chapel of Nicholas V. It is these Italian works which most closely resemble his own.
		We know through a contemporary that Fouquet painted pictures in the church of Notre-Dame la Riche at Tours,; but it is not known whether they were mural or altar-pieces.
		This influence of the theatre is seen throughout the Book of Hours,; in the costumes, the decoration, and local colour, the capricious and grotesque appearance of which proceeds directly from the store of dramatic accessories and the tinsel adornments of the actors.

	French Painting 16th, 17th, And 18th-Century
		Contemporary with Rene was Jean Fouquet (1415?—1480?) an illuminator and portrait-painter, one of the earliest in French history.
		Jean Pereal(?—1528?) and Jean Bourdichon (1457 ?-1521 ?) with Fouquet's pupils and sons, formed a school at Tours which afterward came to show some Italian influence.
		The native painters, Jean Cousin (1500 ?—1 589) and Toussaint du Breuil (1561—1602) followed his style, and in the next century the painters were even more servile imitators of Italy—imitating not the best models either, but the Mannerists, the Eclectics, and the Roman painters of the Decadence.

		On a visit to Rome around 1445, Jean Fouquet caused a great sensation when he painted a portrait of Pope Eugenius IV on canvas rather than the more common wood support.
		The momentous result of this sojourn, where he admired the work of the most innovative Italian artists of the 1400s, was that Fouquet introduced concepts and techniques of Italian Renaissance art into French painting.
		Born in Tours, then the seat of the French monarchy, Fouquet worked for King Charles VII and his court.

		Jean Fouquet was one of the greatest artists of the fifteenth century.
		And, where it was appropriate, he portrayed people of his time - among the suppliants at the feet of the Virgin is Etienne de Chevalier himself, and the Three Kings coming to Bethlehem are King Charles VII and his two sons.
		In introducing these likenesses Fouquet anticipated the liberties later Renaissance painters were to take with religious subject matter.

		The floor tiles on both pages share the same vanishing point, so that the lines of recession suggested by the floor tiles converge at a point between the two miniatures.
