Master of the Prayer Books of around 1500

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Master of the Prayer Books of around 1500 was a Flemish painter of illuminated manuscripts active in Bruges from about 1485 until around 1520. His name is derived from a collection of devotional manuscripts from the same artist dating to about the start of the sixteenth century. The name notwithstanding, the Master is best known for the work he did painting secular images, incorporated details from daily life in a number of his original narratives. His interest in courtly life, as well as the daily activities of the lower classes, may be seen as well in his paintings for calendars.
