Jean Fouquet is a french manuscript illuminator from the 15th century.  His work was appreciated, as he was the designer for Louis XI\u2019s tomb in 1474 and titled \u201cKing\u2019s Painter\u201d.  Fouquet is also the first French painter who went to Italy and implemented his experience from the Italian Renaissance.  Influenced by Piero Della Francesca and Fra Angelico\u2019s work, he gained and applied an understanding of volume and central perspective.  Thus introducing his style, which combined that of the French Gothic and Italian Early Renaissance, as the new foundation for French Art in the 1400s.  This, and his invention of portrait miniature, made him influential to art history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opinion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to draw portraits, so I am really interested in the fact that Jean Fouquet invented portrait miniature.  His self-portrait from 1450 is equally as interesting, as it is said to be possibly the first formal self-portrait.  This portrait is different because it is in the form of an enamel-painted copper medallion.  I also like the techniques Fouquet used.  His self-portrait demonstrates two techniques relevant to Renaissance art: He painted directly on enamel with two gold tones in hatched strokes for a monochromatic effect, and he removed an enamel layer by fine needlepoint to create the face.  Fouquet\u2019s portrait achieved detail and expression.  His eyes are quite engaging, as he was able to portray a certain intensity.  I\u2019m curious to know how Fouquet was able to create his self-portrait: Did he stare into a mirror?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
