Taste Of Power

This article focuses on the sixteenth century (1515-1598) in France, from Francois I to Henry IV ruled period, during which the French palace art style formed and get popular, trying to explain the symbiotic relationship between the palace style and the so-called "Fontainebleau School" activities in France. As the typical French Renaissance-style, palace style period is the transition period between medieval art and Baroque and Rococo art, to understand its constructions、formations and features is the key point for us to understand the relevance of the French Renaissance and the seventeenth and eighteenth-century art.Italian Mannerism, French local royal taste, as well as northern-styles, they formed the Fontainebleau style together."Fontainebleau School" and French palace style interacted each other, and based on each other. Returning to the historical context of those arts, I am trying to explore the mutual support and reconstruction of arts and tastes. Royal summons from the era supported a vague artistic style, and the evolution of art styles had become a daily habit and education so as to form the mainstream taste.In the first part of this dissertation, I examined the ideological and cultural rheological during French Renaissance (Francois I) period; and then focus on the construction of the Fontainebleau Palace, the French royal style establishment (portrait rheological for example) and French royal style popularization(daily necessities, decorations and print for example) in the next3parts to explain the relevance between the French royal style formation and "Fontainebleau School" activities. Based on the analysis and discussion on the development of art, I am trying to explore the political forces, art and cultural forces behind the taste rheological, which appeared as the style of arts. Reference to the economic, political, and cultural factors at that time, I hope to close to spirit of the times to the greatest extent.
