MINIATURIST, Flemish
(active early 16th century)
Folio from the Mayer van den Bergh Breviary
1510-15
Illumination on parchment,224 x 160 mm
Museum Mayer van den Bergh, Antwerp
All the features that earned the Ghent-Bruges workshop its success and fame are present in the Mayer van den Bergh Breviary's miniatures. They include the margin decoration, painted in tromp-l'oeil, often with a strewn flower motif. This new brilliantly detailed observation of nature and representation of the human figure anticipates the Renaissance approach.
