L’Époque moderne couvre les trois siècles qui séparent la fin du Moyen Âge de la Révolution française. En France, elle peut être subdivisée en trois périodes, marquées par d’importantes transformations politiques et artistiques : la Renaissance (de la fin du XVe siècle aux premières décennies du XVIIe siècle) ; l’avènement de l’État-nation sous le règne de Louis XIV (XVIIe et début du XVIIIe siècle) ; le siècle des Lumières (le XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à la Révolution).
