Melchior Broederlam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melchior Broederlam (Ypres, c. 1355–Ypres, c. 1411) was an Early Netherlandish painter who, like Jan van Eyck later, was appointed valet de chambre to Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy.
His early career included a lengthy stay in Italy, where he adopted a sense of space and use of modelling influenced by Trecento painting. By 1381 he was working for Louis de Mâle, Duke of Brabant, and from 1384 for Louis's successor, Philip the Bold.
Broederlam's use of oil paint had a strong impact on the painters of the following generation, including Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck.
