FRÉMINET, Martin
(b. 1567, Paris, d. 1619, Paris)

Charity of St Martin

1610-19
Oil on canvas
Musée du Louvre, Paris

This painting probably belonged to an altarpiece. The architecture of the background is marked by the memory of Rome and the Capitol, the beggar of the background on the left by the art of Michelangelo, but the luminist style is very close to that of the chapel of Trinity at the castle of Fontainebleau.
