Portrait of Francis I, King of France

Artist: Joos van Cleve
Artwork: Portrait of Francis I, King of France
Description: This portrait of Francis I, King of France, is a masterpiece of the Renaissance. It was painted by the Flemish artist Joos van Cleve around 1530. The painting depicts the king in all his finery, wearing a sumptuous black and gold brocade coat and a fur-trimmed hat. His expression is one of calm authority, and his eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer. The painting is a wonderful example of the realism and technical skill of the Renaissance artists. It is also a valuable historical document, as it provides a glimpse into the life and times of one of the most powerful monarchs of the 16th century.
