"Banquet given by Charles V 1338-80 in honour of his uncle Emperor Charles IV 1316-78 in 1378" is a miniature painting by the French artist Jean Fouquet, created in the 15th century. The painting is part of a richly illuminated manuscript known as the "Grandes Chroniques de France," which is a semi-official compilation of the history of France from the reign of Charlemagne to Charles V. The manuscript was commissioned by the French king, and Fouquet, who was one of the most important and influential manuscript illuminators of the 15th century, contributed to this prestigious project.

The miniature depicts a lavish banquet scene in which Charles V of France is honoring his uncle, Emperor Charles IV of the Holy Roman Empire. The event took place in 1378, and Fouquet's representation is notable for its attention to detail and the insight it provides into the courtly life of the period. The painting showcases the opulence of the French court, with elegantly dressed figures, intricate table settings, and a grand architectural setting.

Jean Fouquet's work is characterized by its innovative use of space and perspective, as well as its vivid color palette. His portrayal of figures shows a blend of French Gothic and Italian Renaissance influences, which was groundbreaking for the time. The "Banquet" miniature is a prime example of Fouquet's skill in capturing the grandeur and ceremony of royal events, making it an important work for the study of both art history and the cultural history of the French monarchy.

The "Grandes Chroniques de France" and the "Banquet" miniature are held in high esteem not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance. As a primary source, they offer scholars valuable information about the customs, fashion, and political relationships of 14th-century France. The manuscript is preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and it remains a key work in the oeuvre of Jean Fouquet, reflecting the pinnacle of French illumination during the medieval period.
