Master of Girart de Roussillon

The Master of Girart de Roussillon is an anonymous Burgundian illuminator whose fine illustrated manuscripts date between 1440 and 1465. During this period, he worked for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy; Philip I of Croÿ, Governor of Luxembourg; and others. He decorated numerous works that survive, including the Roman de Girart de Roussillon from which his name is taken.[1]

gollark: Imagine having no headphone jack. Imagine no µSD slot. Imagine being pointlessly large for no reason. Imagine using a proprietary connector for charging etc. Imagine running an OS which forces all apps to be downloaded through a proprietary store.
gollark: They are NOT very good still. They're unrepairable, uncustomizable, encourage lock-in, and in many cases have stupid flaws like just not having adequate cooling.
