French 1420-1479 Jean Fouquet Locations French painter and illuminator. He is regarded as the most important French painter of the 15th century and was responsible for introducing Italian Renaissance elements into French painting. Little is known of his life, and, apart from a signed self-portrait medallion (Paris, Louvre), his only authenticated work is the Antiquit?s judaeques (Paris, Bib. N., MS. fr. 247). A corpus of works by Fouquet has therefore been established on the basis of stylistic criteria, but its exact chronology is uncertain.  Related Paintings of Jean Fouquet :. | Portrait of Guillaume Jouvenel des Ursins | st Marguerite From the Hours of Etienne Chevalier(mk05) | The Coronation of Alexander From Histoire Ancienne (after 1470) (mk05) | right wing of Melun diptychVirgin and Child Surrounded by Angels Showing Charles VII mistress Agnes Sorel | Portrait of Charles Vii of France |
