Painting Description
"Ms Fr 6465 fol 444 Charles V 1338-80 receiving Emperor Charles IV 1316-78 at the Porte du Temple in Paris" is an illuminated manuscript painting by Jean Fouquet, a preeminent French painter and manuscript illuminator of the 15th century. The painting is part of a larger collection of works contained within the manuscript known as "Grandes Chroniques de France," which is a royal compilation of the history of France, with the particular folio dating back to the 14th century. The manuscript is currently housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France with the shelf mark Ms. Français 6465.
The artwork depicts a significant historical event: the meeting of Charles V, King of France, and his uncle, Emperor Charles IV of the Holy Roman Empire, at the Porte du Temple in Paris. This meeting is of particular interest as it symbolizes the diplomatic relations and power dynamics of European rulers during the medieval period. The Porte du Temple was one of the gates of the now-demolished Temple fortress, which was the headquarters of the Knights Templar until their dissolution.
Jean Fouquet's rendering of this event is notable for its attention to detail and its representation of 14th-century French Gothic architecture and fashion. The painting showcases Fouquet's mastery of color and composition, as well as his ability to convey narrative and courtly elegance. The figures are depicted with a sense of individuality and character, which is a hallmark of Fouquet's style.
The folio is an important artifact not only for its artistic value but also for its historical significance, as it provides insight into the political and social context of the time. The meeting between the two Charleses, as captured by Fouquet, offers a visual account of the grandeur and ceremony associated with medieval diplomacy.
As one of the most important artists of his time, Jean Fouquet's works, including this folio, are considered crucial for understanding the development of early French Renaissance art and the transition from medieval to Renaissance styles. His influence on subsequent generations of artists was profound, and his works continue to be studied for their innovative techniques and historical portrayal.
