Perhaps because it was not in the vanguard of European art during the Renaissance, French art of this period has not garnered much appreciation or consideration outside of France. This translation of Chastel's overview should help redress the oversight in the English-speaking world. Against a background of the exigencies of royal, aristocratic, and ecclesiastical patronage, an extravagant universe of painting, sculpture, architecture, stained glass, tapestries, illuminated books, graphic arts, interior decoration, and garden design emerges here.
