André d'Ypres

André d'Ypres is the name of a medieval book and panel painter who worked in Amiens between 1435 and 1444. Because of his name, it is believed that he came from West Flanders in the region around Ypres and settled in France in the course of a major migration of Flemish painters to the region around Tournai, Arras and Amien. Its origin is also cited as an explanation that most of the larger works ascribed to André d'Ypres are close to the style of Robert Campin and Rogier van der Weyden .
