Charles de France (1523-1545), also known as Charles II of Orléans, was a French prince of the Valois-Angoulême dynasty. He was the third son of King Francis I of France and Queen Claude of France. Born on January 22, 1523, Charles was given the title of Duke of Orléans, a title that had significant historical importance within the French nobility. His life, though short, was marked by the political and cultural turbulence of the French Renaissance, a period during which his father played a pivotal role in the patronage of the arts and the consolidation of royal power.

The portrait of Charles de France, created in 1524, is attributed to the studio of Jean Clouet, a prominent portraitist of the French court. Jean Clouet, and later his son François Clouet, were renowned for their detailed and lifelike representations of the French nobility. The Clouet studio was instrumental in documenting the visages of the French royal family and their courtiers, providing a visual record that has been invaluable to historians and art enthusiasts alike.

In this particular portrait, Charles is depicted as a young child, reflecting his tender age at the time. The painting captures the delicate features and innocence of youth, while also conveying the regal bearing expected of a prince. The use of rich colors and fine details in the clothing and background are characteristic of the Clouet style, emphasizing both the subject's status and the artistic skill of the studio.

Charles de France's life was cut short when he died at the age of 22 on September 9, 1545. Despite his brief life, his portrait remains a significant piece of Renaissance art, offering insights into the fashion, culture, and dynastic politics of early 16th-century France. The portrait not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Clouet studio and its role in the cultural milieu of the French Renaissance.
