Master Honoré

Master Honoré was a Parisian secular artist who produced Gothic-era illuminated manuscripts for the French monarchy, particularly Philip the Fair. He is considered sculptural in the design of his figures, even capturing the light as it plays on their bodies. His workshop was on the street known today as rue Boutebrie. Master Honoré lived and worked in Paris for the court of Phillip the Fair from 1288 until 1318.
