Jean Fouquet was France's most important 15th-century artist,
painting for the courts of Charles VII and Louis XI. His art
synthesized the realistic style of Flemish arts like van Eyck with
the monumentality of Florentines like Masaccio. Fouquet's work had
a powerful appeal, shaping the next two generations of painters and
introducing to the French a taste for Italian art.
The first survey of Fouquet's work in English in nearly sixty
years, this captivating book offers a major advance in scholarship
about the artist and his far-reaching impact. Erik Inglis links
Fouquet's style, iconography, and audience to explain how his art
helped define French identity, a project of great importance for
anxious courtiers in the wake of the Hundred Years War. "Jean
Fouquet and the Invention of France" provides a new lens for
looking at the century that saw the greatest changes in French art
prior to Impressionism.
