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 Parisian workshop was on the street known today as rue Boutebrie.^[1] Master Honoré lived and worked in Paris for the court of Phillip the Fair from 1288 until 1318. Master Honoré was a French painter that created illuminations for books and scribes. His stylized designs have influenced generations. From stained-glass-window designs to model paintings all over the world. Until the 13th century illuminated manuscripts had only been reproduced in the scriptoria of monasteries. Master Honoré was one of the first to bring illuminations out of these establishments. In 1295 Master Honoré designed the creation of the miniatures in the Prayer Book of Philip the Fair. His figures are larger and have a relief like modeling that seems more realistic.^[2]
