The Boucicaut Master or Master of the Hours for Marshal Boucicaut was an anonymous French or Flemish miniaturist and illuminator active in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, particularly active between 1400 and 1430 in Paris. He worked in the style of the International Gothic.

The appellation for this artist refers to his illustrated Book of Hours for Jean II Le Meingre Boucicaut), Marshal of France, which was created between 1410 and 1415. This Book of Hours is currently in the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris.

The Master of Boucicaut was a contemporary of the Limbourg brothers and with them belonged to the most important and influential illuminators of manuscripts from the period in Northern Europe. He was probably the head of a productive workshop or studio in which talented artists worked. They took care of commissions for the court, the aristocracy and wealthy citizens.[1] It is known that the artist also collaborated with the equally active Bedford Master in Paris.

The Master of Boucicaut was among the first in European art which is immersed in the display of light and a deepening of perspective, based partly on developments in Italian painting.

Based on style, many paintings and manuscripts attributed to the artist.[2] He is sometimes associated with the Flemish painter, miniaturist, and architect Jacques Coene.
