  • Illumination in Paris at the end of the 15th century: identified Master François, the Master of Jacques de Besançon and Jacques de Besançon? Master François and the Master of Jacques de Besançon who figure among the most important Parisian illuminators in the second half of the 15th century, followed each other at the head of a popular a prolific workshop. Despite their reputation and the considerable number of miniatures linked to them, these artisits presently remains virtually anonymous. The different attemps to identify them proposed so far, particularly with the illuminator Jacques de Besançon, known by certain texts and by the colophon of a religious service in the Bibliothèque Mazarine, have remained dead ends. Based on numerous archival documents, some of which are unpublished, and by relating them to what is known of these artists through their works, this article proposes to identify these masters with two miniaturists well established in the capital, François le Barbier, father, and François le Barbier, son. As for Jacques de Besançon, he could, in a more hypothetical way, be associated with the illuminator conventionally called Master of Liénart Baronnat. These personalities thus gain a more precise identity, and the milieu of the Parisian color craftsmen of the end of the 15th century, whose importance is still underestimated, can thus be more accurately perceived.
