Jean Fouquet

Jean Fouquet (c. 1420–1481) was the leading painter of the French Early Renaissance, celebrated for blending the elegance of the International Gothic with the realism of the Early Netherlandish school. Active at the courts of France and possibly Italy, Fouquet was the first French artist to fully embrace Renaissance principles of perspective, proportion, and naturalism.

His most famous works include the Melun Diptych (featuring the iconic Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels), the Portrait of Charles VII, and his richly detailed *illuminations for the Hours of Étienne Chevalier. Fouquet’s art is admired for its refined detail, luminous color, and ability to merge sacred symbolism with lifelike realism, making him one of the defining figures of 15th-century European painting.
