Jacob de Litemont
Jacob de Litemont or Jacob de Littemont or Jacob de Lichtemont was court painter to the French kings Charles VII and Louis XI. His successor was Jean Fouquet around 1475 .
Little is known about Litemont. He seems to come from the southern Netherlands . As a court painter he had to do a lot of decorative work, most of which have not survived or cannot be assigned. A portrait of the King of Litemont has also not survived. Claude Schaefer presented the thesis, the 1454/55 painted Parlamentsretabel the Louvre attributable Lite Mont and proposed him as a teacher Fouquet. The Louvre's official database attributes the portrait to an unknown French painter with Flemish influence.
