Light wear to covers. ; With illustrations & decorated endpapers & pastedowns. Spine somewhat loose. Slight wear to corners. Light wear to covers. ; 30.7 x 25 x 4.1 cms; 479 pages; François Ier et l’Art des Pays-Bas is a scholarly exhibition catalogue published by the Musée du Louvre, focusing on the relationship between King Francis I of France and Netherlandish (Flemish and Dutch) art during the Renaissance. The book explores how Francis I, known for his patronage of the arts, actively collected and commissioned works from Northern European artists alongside his better-known support of Italian Renaissance figures like Leonardo da Vinci. It highlights the influence of Netherlandish painters, such as Joos van Cleve and Jan Gossaert, on the French court and how their detailed, realistic styles complemented and sometimes contrasted with Italian aesthetics. The catalogue includes essays by art historians, high-quality reproductions of artworks, and analysis of how Northern European art contributed to the development of French Renaissance style under Francis I. Overall, the book offers insight into cultural exchange in 16th-century Europe and sheds light on a less-explored aspect of Francis I’s artistic legacy—his appreciation for and acquisition of art from the Low Countries.. Very Good+ with no dust jacket .
