Objective:
From the day I was born, to the days I started painting, to the present when I am a successful countrymen and respected artist, I have painted with the knowledge my father had. Since I was young, I admired his finesse and accuracy in the art of portraiture. When I got old enough he began to teach me his art skills. I have painted many works, as listed later in the document, and many of them have recieved the highest praise through the country of France and noble courts of many other countries throughout Europe. Much of my style of painting has come from my father's classic style but I absorbed lessons from Italian painters such as Bronzino and Salviati. Catherine de' Medici herself was a patron of my artworks. Through all these people I had great ties to Florence, Italy, the birth-city of the Renaissance art. When I was young I knew I would grow up to be just like my father, the royal artist of the French King's court, and here I am today.
