François of Cleves (1516-61), 1st Duc de Nevers, c.1531, is a notable portrait attributed to the studio of Jean Clouet, a prominent French Renaissance painter. Jean Clouet, often recognized for his detailed and realistic portraiture, was a court painter to King Francis I of France. His studio produced numerous portraits of the French nobility, capturing the intricate details of their attire and the subtleties of their expressions, which were characteristic of the Renaissance style.

François of Cleves, born in 1516, was a significant figure in the French nobility, holding the title of the 1st Duc de Nevers. His prominence in the French court and his political influence made him a subject of interest for portrait artists of the time. The portrait, created around 1531, reflects the artistic conventions of the early 16th century, with a focus on realism and the depiction of the subject's status and personality.

The painting showcases François of Cleves in a dignified pose, dressed in the elaborate clothing typical of the French aristocracy during the Renaissance. The attention to detail in the fabric, the intricate patterns, and the use of light and shadow highlight the skill of Clouet's studio. The portrait not only serves as a visual representation of François but also as a historical document, providing insights into the fashion and cultural norms of the period.

The work is an example of the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance style in French art, where there was a growing emphasis on individualism and the realistic portrayal of subjects. The portrait of François of Cleves stands as a testament to the artistic achievements of Clouet's studio and the importance of portraiture in documenting the history and personalities of the French nobility.
