Translated from the French. Tight, clean copy. *** "This examination of a distinctive period of French painting discusses the interrelated artistic cities and regions that formed essential links in Renaissance-era artistic exchanges. The interaction between the French courts and Paris during the International Gothic period, the diffusion of ars nova in France during the days of Charles VII and Louis XI, and the standardization of a French style based on Jean Fouquet's model are among the artistic geographies considered in this analysis. Reproductions of key works that illustrate cultural confluences accompany an updated introduction to the scholarship of these relationships. / Frederic Elsig is a professor of medieval art history at the University of Geneva. He was codirector of the exhibition La Renaissance en Savoie." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: International Gothic and the French courts (1380-1435); The influence of Paris under the reign of Charles VI le Fou; The courts of Berry and Burgundy; The English occupation and "Mannerist" phase of International Gothic; The diffusion of the Ars Nova (1435-1483); Economic channels; Diplomatic channels; Selective assimilation in the royal domain; Between regional traditions and revival (1483-1515); The Lyon crossroads; The Paris crossroads; The Loire cultural artery; Conclusion.

Hardback. Condition: New. The study of fifteenth-century painting in France was inaugurated a century ago by the exhibition Primitifs français (1904) and has developed considerably over the past few decades, especially thanks to the work of Charles Sterling, Michel Laclotte, Nicole Reynaud, and François Avril. This research has led to the revival of several forgotten figures (Barthélemy d Eyck, André d Ypres, Antoine de Lonhy, Jean Hey, Jean Poyer, etc.) and the reassessment of many centres of artistic production. Linked together, they formed a crucial part of the trade network across Europe. It is this extremely complex artistic geography that this book's three sections attempt to recreate. The first is devoted to the interplay between the French courts and Paris, as a thriving centre of artistic production at the time of the flowering of international gothic (1380-1435). The second examines the spread of ars nova (the illusionist art of Flanders) and its selective adoption in the kingdom of France in the time of Charles VII and Louis XI (1435 1483). The third concentrates on the gradual development of a generally accepted standard form of the French language, based on the model of Jean Fouquet and evolving in parallel to the work of the grand rhetoricians under Charles VIII and Louis XII (1483-1515).
