Jean Fouquet. 1420-1477 ?
à l’enfant entourée d’anges
« Tout ici est chargé de sens: la lourde et parfaite poitrine fait allusion à la maternité ; l’étroitesse de la taille rappelle la virginité juvénile de la mère de Dieu.Les anges, proclament la divinité de la scène »

Though, if we're talking French Renaissance art, you may be more familiar with Jean Fouquet's 🎨Virgin and Child (1452). Madonna here looks royal and sensual, even futuristic. It is believed she was modeled after the beautiful Agnès Sorel, mistress of Charles VII. Oh mon Dieu!😱

Just when you thought I was done with Renaissance...
Please welcome Jean Fouquet () art bot. Fouquet was a master of panel painting and manuscript illumination, and the apparent inventor of the portrait miniature.

Long rumoured to possess magical properties in addition to being rare, in the time of King Louis the IX women were forbidden to wear diamonds, even queens, until courtesan Agnès Sorel broke the taboo centuries later.

Jean Fouquet's Madonna from 1452 is surreal! Look at the fake breasts, small waist, and the bright blue and red angels representing day and night.

Finally decided to post this here. An extra credit assignment for Art History: redraw Jean Fouquet’s “Melun Diptych.” I gave all of the characters more...life, since they look like cold hearted statues in the original. Hope you like!
