The painting "Francois of Cleves (1516-61) c.1530" is attributed to the studio of the renowned French Renaissance portraitist, Jean Clouet. Jean Clouet, often referred to as Janet, was a significant figure in the French court, known for his meticulous and detailed portraiture that captured the likenesses of many prominent figures of his time. The work is believed to have been created around 1530, during a period when Clouet's studio was highly active and influential.

Francois of Cleves, the subject of the painting, was a notable nobleman born in 1516. He was a member of the House of Cleves, a prominent European noble family. Throughout his life, Francois held various important titles and positions, including Duke of Nevers and Count of Rethel. His political and social standing made him a significant figure in the French court, which likely led to his commissioning of a portrait from Clouet's esteemed studio.

The portrait exemplifies the stylistic characteristics of Clouet's work, including the precise rendering of facial features and the careful attention to the textures of clothing and accessories. The painting captures Francois of Cleves in a dignified pose, reflecting his status and the fashion of the early 16th century. The use of light and shadow, along with the detailed depiction of fabrics and adornments, showcases the technical skill and artistry of Clouet's studio.

While the exact details of the commission and the circumstances surrounding the creation of this portrait remain unclear, the painting stands as a testament to the artistic achievements of Jean Clouet and his workshop. It also provides valuable insight into the visual culture of the French Renaissance and the ways in which portraiture was used to convey power, prestige, and identity among the nobility.
