This is nonsense. The painter's name is Jean Fouquet. He lived from around 1420 untill 1481. The painting was created in 1450, and is part of a dyptich. The Chevalier panel is in Berlin, the Virgin panel in Antwerp. After he completed the painting, he stayed one of the most influential painters at the French court. Agn Sorel died in that same year 1450 wen she was on the way to visit her lover-king Charles VII who was fighting to re-conquer Normandy from the English. Oficially she died from dysentheria, but, as has been proven recently, she died from poisening. It may well be that the king's son, the future Louis XI, was responsible for her murder. Despite some silly critiques by Huizinga and others, there was nothing wrong with a mother feeding her baby. Fouquet, having been in Italy, already shows some of the extravagancies of what, a bit later, is to become French Mannerism of the Ecole de Fontainebleau. As for the "recent" wave of intolerance: each nation gets the government it merits. That is the true meaning of democracy. You have the right not to agree, and to express that disagreement. But no one forces you to visit R. Or spend your money here in the MP. But please do not mix this up with the art of another era. Before the Christian missionaries came to Africa or, say, the Pacific islands, women did not (have to) cover their breasts.
