Gallery of Froissart's Chronicles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The text of Froissart's Chronicles is preserved in more than 100 manuscripts, illustrated by a variety of miniaturists. One of the most lavishly illuminated copies was commissioned by Louis of Gruthuse, a Flemish nobleman, in the 1470s. The four volumes of this copy (BNF, Fr 2643 ; BNF, Fr 2644 ; BNF, Fr 2645 ; BNF, Fr 2646 ) contain 112 miniatures painted by the best Brugeois artists of the day, among them Loiset Lyédet, to whom the miniatures in the first two volumes are attributed.
