JEAN CLOUET. Guillaume Budé (1467-1540)

Guillaume Budé (1467-1540). Artist: Jean Clouet (French, active by 1516-died 1540/41 Paris). Dimensions: 15 5/8 x 13 1/2 in. (39.7 x 34.3 cm). Date: ca. 1536.
Painter to King Francis I, Jean Clouet played a key role in establishing the Renaissance portraiture tradition in France, yet this is his only extant painted portrait. It depicts Guillaume Budé, librarian to Francis I and the leading humanist of sixteenth-century France. Similar to the sitter in Metsys's <i>Portrait of a Woman</i> (32.100.47), Budé's fingers hold his page, as if interrupted. With the quill in his right hand, he has written in Greek, "While it seems to be good to get what one desires, the greatest good is not to desire what one does not need" (Joannes Stobaeus, 3.5.18).

Guillaume Budé (1467-1540)
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Guillaume Budé (1467-1540). Artista: Jean Clouet (Francés, activo por 1516-murió 1540/41 París). Dimensiones: 15 5/8 x 13 1/2 pulg. (39,7 x 34,3 cm). Fecha: ca. 1536. Pintor del rey Francisco I, Jean Clouet desempeñó un papel clave en el establecimiento de la tradición del retrato renacentista en Francia, sin embargo, este es su único retrato pintado existente. Representa a Guillaume Budé, bibliotecario de Francisco I y el principal humanista de la Francia del siglo XVI. Al igual que la modelo en Retrato de mujer de Metsys (32.100.47), los dedos de Budé sostienen su página, como si lo interrumpieran. Con la pluma en la mano derecha, ha escrito en griego: "Si bien parece bueno obtener lo que se desea, el mayor bien es no desear lo que no se necesita" (Joannes Stobaeus, 3.5.18).
