Wikipedia
pucelle
Jean Pucelle (c. 1300 – 1355; active c. 1320–1350) was a Parisian Gothic-era manuscript illuminator who excelled in the invention of drolleries as well as traditional iconography. He is considered one of the best miniaturists of the early 14th century. He worked primarily under the patronage of the royal court and is believed to have been responsible for the introduction of the arte nuovo of Giotto and Duccio to Northern Gothic art. His work shows a distinct influence of the Italian trecento art Duccio is credited with creating. His style is characterized by delicate figures rendered in grisaille, accented with touches of color. Pucelle was a major contributor towards the development of manuscript illumination. By the 1380s, French art of illumination can be divided into two, one of which included artists following on the stylistic traditions of Pucelle, the other being Flemish realism.
