THE FICKLENESS of Fortune has never been more in evidence than in the case of the painter who makes the subject of this book. In his day, Jehan Foucquet enjoyed a widespread fame and, at a time when Italy was sipping the nectar of the first Renaissance fruits, he was summoned from Tours to Rome to paint the Pope's portrait. From the close of the fifteenth century until the middle of the nineteenth, the name of Foucquet sank deeper and deeper into oblivion and, even now, its due has not been paid. In the censure of those who wisely study the history of the arts his name is still great, but to the large numbers of people for whom painting is no source of scholarship but a fountain merely of interest and delight, the name of Jehan Foucquet means little and, indeed, is hardly known. If, therefore, this book is able to increase the radius of Foucquet's reputation, its existence will be fairly justified. ., Faber & Faber, 1931, 2.5, London: Thames and Hudson Ltd. Very Good. 1989.
