Clouet, François

Japanese: クルーエ(英語表記)Clouet, François
Clouet, François
Born: 1515/1520. Tours
Died September 22, 1572. French painter in Paris. Son of J. Clouet, he was also called Janet. In 1541, he succeeded his father as court painter to Francis I, and then served Henry II and Charles IX, mainly producing portraits. His first signed work, Pierre Coutet, the Apothecary (1562, Louvre), is very similar to A. Bronzino's style, suggesting that he had been to Italy, but his refined and detailed depictions in works such as Portrait of Charles IX (1561, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) and Portrait of Henry II (1559, Louvre) are closer to those of H. Holbein the Younger. Like his father, he also left behind many portrait drawings (Chantilly, Musee Condé, etc.), and had a great influence on subsequent French draftsmen.

Born: circa 1485. Brussels?
Died 1540/1541. French painter in Paris. Father of F. Clouet. After 1516, he worked in Tours and Paris as the court painter of Francis I. Apart from a few miniatures and religious paintings, most of his works were portraits, leaving behind about 130 portrait drawings done in red and black pastels (most of which are in the collection of the Musée Condé, Chantilly) and several related oil portraits. His most famous works are "Francis I" (c. 1524, Louvre) and "Portrait of Guillaume Budet" (c. 1535, Metropolitan Museum of Art). His style is characterized by Netherlandish detailed depiction, French elegance, and the influence of Italian painting of the High Renaissance.

フランスの画家。 J.クルーエの息子で,ジャネとも呼ばれた。 1541年,父の跡を継いでフランソア1世の宮廷画家となり,次いでアンリ2世,シャルル9世に仕え,おもに肖像画を制作。署名のある最初の作品『薬剤師ピエール・クテ』 (1562,ルーブル美術館) は A.ブロンツィーノの作風に酷似しており,彼がイタリアへ行った経験のあることを暗示しているが,『シャルル9世の肖像』 (61,ウィーン美術史美術館) や『アンリ2世の肖像』 (59,ルーブル美術館) などの洗練された細密描写は,H.ホルバイン (子) に近い。このほか,父と同様多数の肖像デッサン (シャンティイー,コンデ美術館その他) も残し,以後のフランスの素描家に大きな影響を与えた。
