Fouquet, Jean
also known as Jean Foucquet
(Tours, about 1420 - Tours, about 1480/81)
French
About 1450 he was in Rome where he made the Portrait of the Pope Eugene IV in a tree-quarter view. This kind of portraiture was characteristic for Northern painting and was something new in Italy. Boskovits wrote that this image could have been well known to artists and highly placed patrons in Italy. The oldest Italian tree-quarter portrait is Mantegna's Cardinal Ludivico Trevisan, dated in 1459 or Portrait of a Man attributed to Andrea del Castagno (?).
