Master from 1342

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As champion of 1342 one is Gothic painter called. During the Middle Ages, he worked in southern France in the first half of the 14th century , probably in the historic province of Roussillon (Catalan. Rosselló). The artist, who is not known by name, received his emergency name from his altarpiece, dating from 1342, of a Madonna in one of the churches of Serdinya , a parish in the Pyrénées-Orientales department .

The master of 1342 belongs to the high Gothic style. He may have been influenced by the techniques of Gothic book illumination , in particular he may have been familiar with the working methods of the Parisian illuminators around 1290 or 1300 around Maître Honoré , as he tried to give his pictures three-dimensionality . The lines and folds of his figures are also based on the new form of representation that was developing in the sculpture of his time .
