Painting Description
''Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels'' is a notable work of art by the French painter Jean Fouquet, created circa 1450. This painting is renowned for its striking use of color and the blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, which reflects the transitional period in which Fouquet was working. The piece is a panel painting, originally part of a diptych for the Étienne Chevalier Book of Hours, a personal devotional book belonging to Étienne Chevalier, a prominent 15th-century French patron of the arts.
The painting measures 93 cm × 85 cm and is executed in tempera on wood. It depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child, and surrounded by a host of angels. The Virgin is portrayed with an ethereal beauty and is adorned with a crown and rich garments, illustrating the influence of the International Gothic style. The angels are depicted in a more naturalistic manner, which showcases Fouquet's early adoption of Renaissance techniques and his exposure to Italian art.
One of the most striking features of the painting is the use of perspective and the careful attention to detail, such as the intricate patterns on the angels' wings and the realistic depiction of textiles. The background of the painting is adorned with a red and gold brocade pattern, which was a luxurious fabric of the time and underscores the opulence of the scene.
The ''Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels'' is currently housed in the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Belgium. It is widely regarded as one of Fouquet's masterpieces and an important example of early French Renaissance art. The painting has been extensively studied for its iconography, style, and historical context, and it continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
