"Charles I de Cossé (1505-1573), Count of Brissac, c.1540" is a portrait attributed to the studio of François Clouet, a renowned French Renaissance painter known for his detailed and insightful portraiture of the French court. This artwork, dating from around 1540, captures Charles I de Cossé, a prominent military figure and nobleman during the reigns of Kings François I, Henri II, François II, and Charles IX of France. As the Count of Brissac, he played a significant role in the political and military landscape of 16th-century France, serving as a Marshal of France and gaining renown for his participation in various military campaigns, including the Italian Wars.

The portrait is a testament to the artistic skill prevalent in Clouet's studio, showcasing meticulous attention to detail, from the rendering of the Count's attire, indicative of his status and the fashion of the period, to the lifelike depiction of his facial features, conveying a sense of his character and demeanor. While the exact circumstances of the portrait's commission are not fully documented, it is likely that it was intended to celebrate or commemorate the Count's achievements or to serve as a personal or familial memento.

The work is executed in the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by its realism, precise detail, and emphasis on individuality. These qualities are evident in the careful depiction of textures, such as the fabric of the Count's clothing and the intricacy of his armor, reflecting the artist's skill in using painting to capture the nuances of material and light. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of a significant figure of the French Renaissance but also exemplifies the artistic achievements of the period, particularly in the genre of portraiture.

As a piece attributed to the studio of François Clouet, the portrait is an important work for scholars studying the period, offering insights into the artistic practices of the time, the social and political context of the French court, and the personal history of Charles I de Cossé. It remains a valuable artifact within the broader tapestry of Renaissance art, reflecting the cultural, historical, and artistic vibrancy of 16th-century France.
