La peinture d'Etienne Chevalier avec St. Stephen est une œuvre remarquable de l'artiste français Jean Fouquet, réalisée au XVe siècle.

La peinture représente Etienne Chevalier, un riche trésorier de la cour du roi Charles VII, agenouillé devant St. Stephen, le premier martyr chrétien. St. Stephen est représenté avec des vêtements colorés et une expression paisible, tenant des pierres symbolisant son martyre. Autour de la scène, on peut voir des anges avec des ailes déployées, créant une impression de mouvement et de grâce.

La peinture est remarquable pour sa beauté et sa sophistication. Fouquet a utilisé des couleurs riches et des techniques de peinture sophistiquées pour créer une impression de lumière et de texture. Les vêtements et les bijoux de Chevalier sont représentés avec un grand soin, reflétant la richesse et la sophistication de la cour française au XVe siècle.

Jean Fouquet (1420-1481) was a French painter who is considered one of the most significant artists of the 15th century. He was born in Tours, France, and trained under his father, who was also a painter.

Fouquet's early works show the influence of the Flemish and Italian styles, but he soon developed his own unique style that combined a keen observation of nature with a taste for elegant and refined forms. He was especially admired for his skill in creating lifelike portraits, and his work was highly sought after by the French nobility.

One of Fouquet's most famous works is the Melun Diptych, a two-panel painting commissioned by Etienne Chevalier, the treasurer to King Charles VII. The painting depicts Chevalier and his patron saint, St. Stephen, and is notable for its exquisite details, including the realistic rendering of fabrics and the delicate portrayal of facial expressions.

Fouquet was also known for his illuminated manuscripts, which were highly prized by the French court. One of his most famous manuscripts is the Grandes Chroniques de France, a history of France commissioned by King Louis XI. Fouquet's illustrations for this work are noted for their precision and detail, as well as their vibrant colors.

Fouquet's work had a significant influence on later French artists, including Jean Clouet and François Clouet, who were court painters to King Francis I. He is also considered an important figure in the development of Renaissance art in France.

Fouquet died in 1481 and is buried in the church of Saint-Eustache in Paris. His legacy continues to inspire and captivate art lovers today.
