François Clouet was a 16th-century French painter and portraitist, a leading master of the Fontainebleau school whose works left a lasting mark on European art. The son of the renowned portraitist Jean Clouet, he served as court painter to the French monarchs, producing many celebrated portraits of Renaissance rulers.
François Clouet’s artistic career was closely tied to the spread of humanist thought and the cultural transformations taking place in France at the time. His work focused primarily on precise and finely rendered portraits of royalty and members of the nobility, though he also produced paintings on mythological themes and scenes of everyday life.
François Clouet’s masterpieces include the miniature A Lady in Her Bath and the celebrated painting The Bath of Diana.
