XV century - XVI century
France
Maitre de Coëtivy, born Colin d'Amiens, was a French artist, illuminator and painter, one of the recognized artists of the French court.
Contemporaries considered this master to be the most important artist working in Paris in the third quarter of the century. The master was named for the Book of Hours, which he illustrated for the chamberlain of Charles VII, Olivier de Coetivy. Maitre de Coëtivy also created panels, worked on stained glass and tapestries. Among his famous clients was Louis XI's brother, Charles of France; his works decorated the great church of Saint-Severin in Paris and the royal courts.
