"Étienne Chevalier and His Patron Saint" is a notable work by the French painter Jean Fouquet, created between 1452 and 1460. This painting is part of a diptych that originally served as a devotional object for Étienne Chevalier, the treasurer of France under King Charles VII. The diptych, which has since been separated, depicted Chevalier on one panel and the Madonna and Child on the other. In "Étienne Chevalier and His Patron Saint," Fouquet portrays Chevalier kneeling in prayer, accompanied by his patron saint, St. Stephen, who can be identified by the rocks on his head, symbolizing his martyrdom by stoning.

The work is celebrated for its exquisite detail, use of color, and the fusion of Gothic and early Renaissance styles, which is characteristic of Fouquet's approach to painting. The panel illustrates Fouquet's mastery of perspective and his ability to convey the textures of different materials, from the rich fabrics of the garments to the lifelike rendering of skin tones. The background of the painting features a detailed architectural setting that adds depth to the composition.

Jean Fouquet is widely regarded as one of the most significant French painters of the 15th century, and his work marks a transition between medieval art traditions and the innovations of the Renaissance. "Étienne Chevalier and His Patron Saint" is a prime example of his skill and artistry, and it holds an important place in the history of European art. The painting is not only a testament to the personal devotion of its patron but also an artifact that reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of its time.

The panel featuring Étienne Chevalier is currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, while the Madonna and Child panel is located in the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts, illustrating the often complex histories of such artworks as they are moved, sold, and sometimes separated over the centuries. The diptych's division and the current locations of the panels are a subject of interest for art historians and reflect broader narratives about the circulation and conservation of European art.
