Loyset Liédet
Flemish miniaturist and illuminator
Loyset Liédet (1420 – after 1479, or after 1484), was a Flemish miniaturist and illuminator, running a workshop which may have been of some size.
Although he was very successful, and patronized by the leading collectors of his day, his work does not attain the standards of his finest Flemish contemporaries, with whom he often collaborated on large commissions.
This course is the PACED VERSION of General Art (Grade 7 – First Semester), and a requirement for culmination.
Biography
Liédet was a prolific artist coming from Hesdin in Artois. Between 1454 and 1460 he worked in Hesdin where he produced 55 thumbnails for La Fleur des Histoires by Jean Mansel, commissioned by Philip the Good of the House of Valois-Burgundy.
He also illustrated Royal Library of Belgium MS 9967, a copy of Jehan Wauquelin's edition of La Belle Hélène de Constantinople and 20 miniatures for Mystère de la Vengeance de Nostre Seigneur Ihesu Crist (Mystery of The Vengeance of Our Lord Jesus Christ) by Eustache Marcadé for Philip, now in the British Library.
