Painting Description
The ''Portrait of Chancellor Guillaume Jouvenel des Ursins'' is a notable work by the French painter Jean Fouquet, created circa 1455. This painting is one of the earliest individual portraits from the French school of the Early Renaissance and is significant for its realistic representation and psychological depth. The subject of the portrait, Guillaume Jouvenel des Ursins, was an important figure in 15th-century France, serving as the chancellor under King Charles VII.
Fouquet, renowned for his mastery of color and detail, depicted the chancellor with a sense of dignity and authority. The portrait is characterized by its meticulous execution, with the chancellor's rich robes and the fur-lined cloak rendered in exquisite detail, reflecting his high status. The sitter's gaze is direct and engaging, suggesting a man of intellect and power. The background of the painting is typically sparse, a common feature in portraits of this era, which serves to focus the viewer's attention on the subject.
The painting is executed in oil on wood, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in Northern Europe at the time due to its versatility and durability. The dimensions of the portrait are relatively modest, typical of personal portraiture intended for private viewing rather than public display.
Today, the ''Portrait of Chancellor Guillaume Jouvenel des Ursins'' is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. It is considered a masterpiece of 15th-century portraiture and a testament to Jean Fouquet's skill as a portraitist. The work has been extensively studied for its art historical significance and provides valuable insight into the courtly life and aesthetics of the period.
