Rois, Aristocrates Et Humanistes : Portraits De La Renaissance Française
Auteur(s) : Alexandra Zvereva
The French portrait holds a unique place in Renaissance art, having been able to integrate Italian and Nordic influences to transcend them into a unique and elegant style. The painting or enamel must reflect the personality of the patron, his social status, and even his political or religious camp. It is above all a court art whose style, imposed by the sovereigns and princes of the blood, was transmitted to their entourage. By extension, rich merchants and humanists also wanted to be portrayed to mark their importance.
This catalogue presents paintings, drawings and enamels, inviting us to discover the art of portraiture during the French Renaissance.
