Ippolita Master

( fl c. 1459–65). Italian illuminator. Numerous manuscripts survive by this Master, who was mainly active at the Sforza court in Milan. In 1459 he was employed on the decoration of the Trattato di caccia e falconeria (Chantilly, Mus. Condé, MS. 368/1375) for Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan. In the same and subsequent years he was commissioned to decorate other manuscripts, mostly Classical texts (Paris, Bib. N., MSS lat. 7703 and 7779) for the education of the young Galeazzo Maria Sforza. The De practica seu arte tripudi (‘Of the practice or art of dancing’) by Guglielmo da Pesaro (Paris, Bib. N., MS. it. 973), illuminated in 1463, is also dedicated to Galeazzo.
