Etienne Chevalier with St. Stephen

Fouquet's use of oil paint and chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene. The composition is balanced, with the two figures standing in a room with a tiled floor and a background featuring a wall, window, and column.

Created around 1450, the painting is now held in the Gemäldegalerie Berlin. Fouquet, who was influenced by the early Italian Renaissance, was a pioneering figure in French art, bridging late Gothic and early Renaissance styles.
