Master of Moulins
Master of Moulins
( fl c. 1480–c. 1500). Painter, probably of south Netherlandish origin, active in France. He is named after the triptych of the Virgin and Child Adored by Angels with Saints and Donors in Moulins Cathedral. Many of the works attributed to the Master can be associated with members of the Bourbon court at Moulins, and he may have been their court painter. Given the poor survival rate of French 15th-century panels, a surprisingly large number of works can be attributed to him, allowing for workshop intervention. They show a master whose revealing images of powerful intensity combine the daring colour and compositional ideas of van der Goes with the looser technique and Italianate motifs fashionable in France. He has been plausibly identified as Jean Hey.
