French Painter, ca.1485-1541 painter. He was chief painter to Francis I and produced many pastel portraits of members of the French court. Clouet was one of the best 16th-century portrait painters, both incisive and delicate in the psychological characterization of sitters. His drawings are simple, broad, and subtle; his paintings are fresh in colour, subdued in modeling, and minute in execution. He was celebrated in his lifetime as the equal of Michelangelo. His son Francois Clouet (c. 1515 ?C 72) took his place as official painter to Francis I in 1540.  Related Paintings of Jean Clouet :. | Francis I of France | Le Dauphin Francis de France enfant | Francis I of France | Portrait of Jean de Dinteville | Portrait of Francis I,King of France (mk08) |
