Inhaltsangabe
Francis I was the first Renaissance king of France, and reigned from 1515 to 1547. A man of considerable intelliugence and education, Francis embraced the new art of Renaisssance Italy with enthusiasm and taste, collecting the finest paintings and sculptures from Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian and others, When possible he brought the artists back to work with him in France. His many acquisitions and commissions formed the nucleus of the French royal collections, now in the Louvre. This book places the works in historical context, presenting them in the light of Francis's artistic patronage as a whole, and of the role of that patronage in the introduction of the Italian Renaissance style into French culture. Of particular interest are the many images of the king, both grand portraits and other works which symbolize the monarchy, including the great chateau of Fontainebleau.

About the book >.>.> The Collection of Francis I: Royal Treasures by Janet Cox-Rearick explores the rich artistic legacy of Francis I, the first Renaissance king of France, who reigned from 1515 to 1547. The book examines how Francis I, a king of notable intelligence and cultural engagement, embraced the burgeoning art of Renaissance Italy. Through his enthusiasm and taste, he shaped the French Renaissance and curated a magnificent collection of art that defined the character of his reign.Cox-Rearick's work delves into the king's substantial collection, which included renowned masterpieces by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Andrea del Sarto, Agnolo Bronzino, and Benvenuto Cellini. The volume details how these works?commissioned, imported, or gifted?contributed to what became the most distinguished art assemblage among European courts of the sixteenth century, surpassing those of rivals like Emperor Charles V and King Henry VIII. This collection later became a foundational component of the French royal art collections, enhanced by Louis XIV and housed at Versailles, with many pieces currently on display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.The book presents a comprehensive study of Francis I's collection for the first time, contextualising it within the king's artistic and cultural patronage. It examines how the collection reflects the king's aristocratic ideology, notably centred at the lavish château of Fontainebleau, where much of his art was displayed. Through detailed illustrations and insights, The Collection of Francis I offers a deeper understanding of the cultural and political significance of art during the Renaissance in France. Artikel-Nr.

See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> While much of the art discussed and illustrated in this lavish volume will be familiar and there is a vast literature on some of the individual works of art owned by Francis 1-Leonardo's Mona Lisa and Cellini's Salt-Cellar among them - the king's collec- tion as a whole is studied in depth for the first time in Royal Treasures. It is presented in the light of Francis I's artistic and cultural patronage, and placed in its political context as an expression of the king's aristocratic ideology, for the most important of the luxuriously decorated ch?teaux which enhanced his absolutist rule was Fontainebleau, where his art col- lection was housed. This volume begins by introducing Francis I, his art patronage, and his collecting. Among the sub- jects treated are Francis I's personal imagery, por- traits of him, and his artistic patronage in general, particularly at Fontainebleau; the formation and sources of the King's collection; and its installation at the ch?teau and la.
