Egerton Master (French illuminator, active ca. 1405-1420)
|
Note: French illuminator who may have been of Netherlandish origin but whose known career began in Paris. His name comes from a book of hours in the British Library with the shelfmark Egerton 1070. In this manuscript he collaborated with many of the most important illuminators of the time, including the Boucicaut Master and the Master of the Brussels Initials. His work also reveals a knowledge of the well-known Limbourg Brothers. The Egerton Master worked on numerous books of hours, bibles, liturgical books, and a Grand Chronicles of France. He also illuminated some of the works of Christine de Pizan, one of the most famous female authors of the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1409 Christine herself asked the Egerton Master to illuminate three copies of her work on the seven psalms. |
