Master of the Brussels Initials

( fl Paris and Bologna, c. 1390–1410). Illuminator. His name and a corpus of works attributed to him are derived from the 15 historiated initials in the Très Belles Heures of Jean, Duc de Berry (Brussels, Bib. Royale Albert 1er, MSS 11060–61), possibly executed before 1402. Pächt’s identification of the Master as Zebo or Zanobi da Firenze on the basis of an inscription in the Hours of Charles the Noble (Cleveland, OH, Mus. A., MS. 64.40) is no longer accepted.

Part of the Masters, anonymous, and monogrammists family
