The patronage of Louis, the duke of Orleans : a survey of the Orleans documents with particular reference to the tapestries
Abstract
This thesis examines aspects of the patronage of the arts by
Louis, Duke of Orleans. Unlike the scholarship devoted to Charles V and his
brothers, the Dukes of Anjou, Berry and Burgundy, the King's sons, Charles
VI and Louis of Orleans have only been touched upon. Nevertheless this period of the sovereignty of the French King
Charles V, his brothers and his sons coincides with the so-ca11ed "Golden
Age of Tapestry." These figures emerge as munificent patrons of art and
their role as patrons is ref Jected in the splendour and extravagence of
their palaces and their collections.
