THE VIRGIN AND CHILD RECEIVING HOMAGE
Jean Fouquet.
Musée Condé.
To face page 180.
We know that Fouquet painted the portraits of Charles VII and of Juvenal des Ursins in the Louvre, and also a recently acquired portrait of a Man with a Glass of Wine. The life-sized portraits of Etienne Chevalier attended by his Patron Saint at Berlin and the powerful likeness of an Unknown Personage in the Lichtenstein Gallery are by his hand. But although he won great fame as a portrait-painter during his lifetime it is upon his achievements as a worker in miniature that his highest reputation is based.
