Melun, a city steeped in history and art. From the iconic Melun Diptych by Jean Fouquet to the breathtaking landscapes captured on canvas, this place is a treasure trove of artistic wonders. The Melun Diptych, painted in 1452 by Jean Fouquet, showcases his mastery of portraiture and attention to detail. The diptych depicts Étienne Chevalier, treasurer to King Charles VII of France, kneeling before Saint Stephen and the Virgin Mary. It now resides in the Gemäldegalerie museum. In contrast to this medieval masterpiece is "Melun, daybreak, " an oil painting that captures the serene beauty of dawn breaking over the city. The artist skillfully portrays the soft hues of morning light dancing upon its streets. A formal garden graces Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in Maincy near Melun. This enchanting sight transports visitors back in time as they stroll through meticulously manicured hedges and flower beds surrounding a majestic castle. However, not all moments captured are idyllic. A tragic train crash occurred at Melun on November 4th, 1913. A postcard sent that year shows a haunting view of rubble left behind after this devastating incident. History intertwines with art once again as we learn about Jean IV de Melun - governor of Ghent during turbulent times from 1396-1484. His leadership shaped an era marked by political intrigue and power struggles. Nature's beauty also finds its place near Melun with stunning landscapes depicted on canvas around 1879. These paintings transport us into pastoral scenes where rolling hills meet tranquil rivers under vast open skies. Warfare has also left its mark on this city's history; Bertrand du Guesclin was struck by a stone during the Siege in 1359 – a moment immortalized through color lithography capturing both heroism and tragedy.
