Painting Description
'''Codex Gallicus 369 6 fol 2v: The Court of Justice of Charles VII against Jean, Duke of Alençon''' is an illuminated manuscript page attributed to the renowned French painter Jean Fouquet. Created in the 15th century, this artwork is a significant historical document that depicts the trial of Jean II, Duke of Alençon, by King Charles VII of France. The Duke of Alençon was accused of treason for his involvement in a conspiracy against the king, and the manuscript page captures a moment of this pivotal event in the French court.
Jean Fouquet, born around 1415-1420 and died before 1481, is considered one of the most important French painters of the early Renaissance. He was known for his mastery of color and perspective, and his works often combined Gothic and Italian Renaissance styles. Fouquet served as a court painter to Charles VII and is best known for his religious panels and illuminated manuscripts, which include the celebrated "Hours of Étienne Chevalier" and the "Grandes Chroniques de France."
The Codex Gallicus 369 6 fol 2v is part of a larger collection of documents and manuscripts known as the Codex Gallicus, which is housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This particular folio, measuring 2v, is a testament to Fouquet's skill in capturing the grandeur and solemnity of the royal court. The scene is meticulously detailed, with figures dressed in period attire and the architecture reflecting the Gothic style of the time.
The artwork serves not only as a piece of aesthetic significance but also as a valuable historical record that offers insight into the legal proceedings and power dynamics of 15th-century France. The trial of the Duke of Alençon was a notable event, as he was a prominent nobleman and a cousin to the king. His eventual conviction and subsequent pardon are reflective of the complex political landscape of the era.
As an important work by Jean Fouquet, "The Court of Justice of Charles VII against Jean, Duke of Alençon" is a key example of the fusion of art and history, providing a vivid window into the past while showcasing the artistic achievements of the early French Renaissance.
