Summary: | The Italian Benedetto Tagliacarne, known as Theocrenus, was tutor to the sons of Francis I from 1527 to 1533. In this capacity, he was closely involved with the royal family, as witnessed by his poetic works, published in Poitiers by Marnef in 1536, and in particular his epigrams, which shaped court events and portray an artistically refined and poetic king. Theocrenus thus celebrates the wedding of the king and Eleanor of Austria and pays tribute to Louise of Savoy; he praises the poetic compositions of Francis I, choosing the epitaph of Petrarch’s muse, Laura de Noves, but also the translation of an epigram attributed to Germanicus; finally, he composes numerous ekphraseis of the king’s works of art. The study of these epigrams allows us to evaluate the contribution of the Italian poet to the cultural policy of Francis I and to the mythology of the reign. |
