EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Antoine Macault reads his translation to King Francois I and his court. The king, surrounded by his sons Francois, Henri (future Henry II), and Charles, listens attentively to Macault's words. The scene is filled with esteemed individuals on both sides of the king. On the left side of the image, we see representations of Claude d'Urfe, Admiral Chabot de Brillon, Anne de Montmorency, and Mellin de Saint-Gelais. These figures add depth and importance to the occasion. Similarly, on the right side of the image stand Guillaume Bude (Budee) (Budaeus), Chancellor Duprat, and Florimont Robertet. The exquisite miniature was created by Jean Clouet between 1475-1540 and is taken from "Les Trois premiers livres de Diodore de Sicily" translated into French by Antoine Macault in 1534. This artwork now resides in Chantilly at the Conde Museum. The print beautifully captures this historical event with its intricate details and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament to the intellectual pursuits of King Francois I's court during this period. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment where literature meets royalty in Renaissance France.
