Master of Jouvenel

The Master of Jouvenel (French: Maître de Jouvenel) was an anonymous master illuminator active between 1447 and 1460.

The painter, to whom many manuscripts are attributed, was undoubtedly at the head of a workshop, also called Groupe Jouvenel from which the Master of Boccace of Geneva came from, or the Master of Boethius.

The painter owes his name to a manuscript in the Mare Historium commissioned by Guillaume Jouvenel des Ursins, for which his workshop produced 730 miniatures.

The Master of Jouvenel uses a modified form of the V-in-square map to depict the three continents (Africa, Asia and Europe) in the Mare historiarum . The horizon indicates the Earth's curvature. The choice of map type was probably designed to flatter the patron, since his initial was V (as in Vrsins ). [ 1 ]
