Français : Charles V le Sage et l'empereur Charles IV
Grandes Chroniques de France, enluminées par Jean Fouquet, Tours, vers 1455-1460Paris, BnF, département des Manuscrits, Français 6465, fol. 444 (Livre de Charles V)
À la sortie de Paris, devant la porte Saint-Denis, le cortège du roi de France, Charles V le Sage, rencontre celui de l'empereur de Bohême, Charles IV en 1378. Les deux souverains se prennent la main pour se saluer.
Jean Fouquet (1420–1481) was a preeminent French painter of the 15th century, a master of both panel painting and manuscript illumination, and the apparent inventor of the portrait miniature. He was the first French artist to travel to Italy and experience first-hand the early Italian Renaissance. He was born in Tours. Little is known of his life, but he was certainly in Italy before 1447 when he executed a portrait of Pope Eugene IV, who died that year (the portrait survives only in much-later copies).
