Entrée de l empereur Charles IV à Cambrai

description

Summary

Français : Entrée de l'empereur Charles IV à Cambrai. Grandes Chroniques de France, enluminées par Jean Fouquet, Tours, vers 1455-1460 Paris, BnF, département des Manuscrits, Français 6465, fol. 441 (Livre de Charles V) Le 22 décembre 1378, l'empereur Charles IV et son fils Wenceslas, accompagnés par les messagers du roi venus les accueillir à quelques lieues de la ville, rencontrent l'évêque et les bourgeois de Cambrai.

Jean Fouquet (1420–1481) was a preeminent French painter of the 15th century, a master of both panel painting and manuscript illumination, and the apparent inventor of the portrait miniature. He was the first French artist to travel to Italy and experience first-hand the early Italian Renaissance. He was born in Tours. Little is known of his life, but he was certainly in Italy before 1447 when he executed a portrait of Pope Eugene IV, who died that year (the portrait survives only in much-later copies).
