Representations of Renaissance monarchy analyses the portraits and
personal imagery of Francis I, one of the most frequently portrayed
rulers of sixteenth-century Europe. The distinctive likeness of the
Valois king was widely disseminated and perceived by his French
subjects, and Tudor and Habsburg rivals abroad. Complementing
studies on the representation of Henry VIII, this book makes a
dynamic contribution to scholarship on the enterprise of royal
image-making in early-modern Europe. The discussion not only
highlights the inventiveness of the visual arts in Renaissance
France but also alludes to the enduring politics of physical
appearance and seductive power of the face and body in modern
visual culture. Coinciding with the five hundredth anniversary of
Francis I's accession, this book will appeal to scholars and
students of medieval and Renaissance art, the history of
portraiture or anyone interested in images of monarchy and the
history of France. -- .
