Book Description
"Jean Fouquet was France's most important 15th-century artist, painting for the courts of Charles VII and Louis XI. His art synthesized the realistic style of Flemish arts like van Eyck with the monumentality of Florentines like Masaccio. Fouquet's work had a powerful appeal, shaping the next two generations of painters and introducing to the French a taste for Italian art. The first survey of Fouquet's work in English in nearly sixty years, this captivating book offers a major advance in scholarship about the artist and his far-reaching impact. Erik Inglis links Fouquet's style, iconography, and audience to explain how his art helped define French identity, a project of great importance for anxious courtiers in the wake of the Hundred Years War. Jean Fouquet and the Invention of France provides a new lens for looking at the century that saw the greatest changes in French art prior to Impressionism"--Provided by publisher.

"Jean Fouquet's diptych from the collegiate church of Melun is one of the main works the painting of the 15th century and French art in general. The left wing with the donor portrait is since 1896 in Berlin, while the right wing, the Madonna performing wings of the Museum of Fine Arts belongs to Antwerp. Both halves were separated by 1773 and were the last time together in 1937. The Berlin exhibition unites them now again and shows more important works, including the original medallion with Fouquet's self-portrait from the Louvre, an outstanding portrait drawing of his hand as well as selected works by painters like Jan van Eyck and Peter Christ. In the accompanying catalog well-known international researchers highlight different aspects of the work, including his iconography and technique, the person of the founder, Fouquets artistic requirements and more"--Publisher's website.

Book Description
Leading French painters in the late medieval period executed miniatures for lavishly illuminated books of hours. In the mid-fifteenth century, Simon de Varie commissioned such a book. Completed in 1455, it included five priceless works by the most eminent French painter of the time, Jean Fouquet, as well as other striking paintings by two of his contemporaries. In the seventeenth century, Simon de Varie's book was divided into three sections and sold as separate volumes. Two of these volumes are today in the Royal Library in The Hague. The third volume--thought lost until 1984, when it surfaced in a private collection and was subsequently acquired by the Getty Museum--contains the first miniatures by Jean Fouquet to have been discovered in eighty years. This beautiful book will reproduce in color all of the miniatures and historiated initials in the original manuscript, along with selected text pages with secondary decoration. Comparative illustrations also accompany the two essays in the volume. Marrow's text addresses the role of books of hours in late medieval culture; the contents and form of de Varie's Hours; and the relationship of the miniatures by Fouquet to the rest of the artist's oeuvre. In a related essay, Francois Avril discusses the position of Simon de Varie and his family in mid-fifteenth-century France. The publication of The Hours of Simon de Varie adds to the Getty's impressive list of publications on illuminated manuscripts begun in 1990 and including the widely acclaimed facsimile Mira calligraphiae monumenta.

Book Description
This sumptuous catalogue provides an overview of French art circa 1500, a dynamic, transitional period when the country, resurgent after the dislocations of the Hundred Years' War, invaded Italy and all media flourished. What followed was the emergence of a unique art: the fusion of the Italian Renaissance with northern European Gothic styles. Outstanding examples of exquisite and revolutionary works are featured, including paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, tapestries, and metalwork. Exciting new research brings to life court artists Jean Fouquet, Jean Bourdichon, Michel Colombe, Jean Poyer, and Jean Hey (The Master of Moulins), all of whose creations were used by kings and queens to assert power and prestige. Also detailed are the organization of workshops and the development of the influential art market in Paris and patronage in the Loire Valley.

Book Description
From the 15th to the 16th centuries, Western European culture flourished thanks in part to the astonishing achievements of such Renaissance artists as da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, and Mannerist painters including El Greco, Pontormo, and Tintoretto. In Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, artists pursued ancient classical ideals of harmony and naturalism, and in architecture, forms of perfection and grandeur. Mannerists, in the early 16th century, valued exaggeration, elongated figures, unnatural lighting, and vivid (even lurid) colors, to create more tension and emotion in their work. This stunning volume follows these two key movements in art history, providing authoritative background from a top scholar, rich cultural context, and a wealth of exquisite reproductions of period paintings, sculptures, churches, and palazzos.

Book Description
Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale (1822-1897), fils du roi Louis-Philippe, a été l'un des plus grands bibliophiles de son temps. En 1830, il reçoit en héritage les biens du dernier prince de Bourbon-Condé. Il devient ainsi propriétaire du château de Chantilly et d'une collection de manuscrits dont l'origine remonte aux Montmorency. Exilé en Angleterre à partir de 1848, il se consacre à enrichir ses collections et réunit avec passion, durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, un ensemble de livres imprimés et de manuscrits exceptionnels par leurs terres, leurs enluminures et leurs reliures. De retour en France après 1871, il reconstruit le château de Chantilly, y aménage ses galeries de peintures et son Cabinet des livres. En 1886, il lègue le domaine de Chantilly à l'Institut de France, qui ouvre le musée Condé au public après la mort du prince.
