Master of the Vienna Chroniques d'Angleterre

He owes his name to his work on several manuscripts, including one held by the Austrian National Library in Vienna, of Jean de Wavrin's Recueil des croniques d'Angleterre.

The style of this artist was detected for the first time by the German art historian Friedrich Winkler in a manuscript of the first volume of the Recueil des chroniques d'Angleterre (Austrian National Library MS 2534).

His figures are generally ungainly, perched on high legs, neckless, with enlarged heads and protruding hairstyles.

The landscapes are also marked by stylized forms, with horizons tracing landforms and threadlike trees, cities with high walls.

The frames of the miniatures painted by the artist contain large motifs, made of thick fruits and berries, grotesques, crested birds, with black or golden backgrounds.
