The Chief Associate of the Bedford Master was a French manuscript illuminator believed to have been active between about 1430 and about 1465. He is named for his association with the Bedford Master, in whose workshop he seems to have served; scholars consider him to be the most talented of the Bedford Master's assistants. His style is characterized by soft modeling of forms, and a fondness for pale colors and shell gold. A few of his illuminations exist independent of those of his master; one is in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California.
