About the artwork
This work of art, which looks like modern art, comes from the Middle Ages.
Fouquet depicted Maria in the image of Agnes Sorel. She was the mistress or mistress of the French king Charles VII and was depicted with her boob bare. Agnes came to court in 1444 and introduced the cleavage with bare shoulders.
Fouquet painted a stylised Madonna. Paradoxically, this unworldly appearance embodies the feminine ideal of beauty of the fifteenth century. This included a depilated face, red lips, narrow loins, perfectly round breasts and white skin. An absolute worldly beauty like Agnes was the model for the Mother of God, the female perfection. One did not necessarily see a contradiction between holiness and beauty.
The constricted waist with loose lapel that reveals Madonna's round chest gives the whole an erotic touch.
Madonna - half standing, half sitting on the richly decorated celestial throne - and the child are surrounded by red and blue angels. The red seraphim depicts the divine, fiery burning love. The blue ones symbolise divine grace, purity and air.
Jean Fouquet (Tours, France between 1415 and 1420 - ca. 1480) was a French painter. He combined the Flemish and Tuscan styles that were leading at the time with his own French style and thus became the great innovator of 15th century painting.
