EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Francis I (1494-1547), the charismatic King of France, Duke of Brittany, and Count of Provence, as a regal and powerful monarch. Painted by the renowned early Netherlandish artist Joos van Cleve around 1535, the oil on wood masterpiece is currently housed in the esteemed Musee Carnavalet in Paris. Francis I, a member of the House of Valois, is depicted in a grand manner, wearing an ornate and richly embroidered robe, adorned with the fleur-de-lis symbol of the French monarchy. His piercing gaze and confident posture exude a sense of authority and leadership. The intricate details of the painting, from the delicate folds of his clothing to the meticulously rendered background, showcase the exceptional skill and artistry of Joos van Cleve. Francis I was known as 'Le Roi Chevalier' or 'The Knight King' due to his passion for chivalry and the arts. This portrait reflects his noble status and the grandeur of the French monarchy during his reign. The painting is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the time, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of Francis I as a significant historical figure. Joos van Cleve's Portrait of Francis I is a stunning example of early Netherlandish art and a valuable addition to the rich artistic heritage of the Musee Carnavalet in Paris. The painting continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details, masterful use of color, and the enigmatic presence of the monarch it portrays.
