The "Self Portrait Medallion" by Jean Fouquet is a notable work of art from the Early Renaissance period, created by one of the most significant French painters of the 15th century. This self-portrait is particularly remarkable as it is one of the earliest known self-portraits in European art. The medallion, which is a small, round painting, is believed to have been produced around 1450. It is executed in tempera on a wood panel, a common medium and support of the time.

Jean Fouquet was renowned for his mastery of color and for combining the realistic detail of the Flemish school with the elegance and clarity of the Italian Renaissance. His self-portrait reflects this synthesis of styles. The medallion shows the artist's head and shoulders in profile, set against a solid, dark background that accentuates the contours of his face and the elaborate detail of his attire.

The self-portrait is characterized by its meticulous brushwork and the lifelike representation of Fouquet's features. The artist is depicted wearing a red turban-like headdress, which was a fashionable accessory during the period and may also serve to signify his status as an artist. His gaze is directed away from the viewer, which, along with the profile view, was a common convention in portraiture of the time.

The "Self Portrait Medallion" is not only significant for its artistry but also for its historical value, providing insight into the self-perception of artists during the Renaissance. It is a testament to the growing status of the artist as an individual and as a creative force, moving away from the anonymity that was typical of medieval craftsmen.

The medallion is currently held in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the understanding of self-portraiture and the evolution of individualism in art. Its small size, delicate execution, and the personal nature of its subject matter make it a unique and intimate piece within Fouquet's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art.
