Pucelle Jean
Altichiero da Zevio
Pucelle Jean
( fl c. 1319–34).
French illuminator. He is a
controversial figure in 14th-century manuscript painting
since his individual role in works attributed to him and his
circle has not yet been fully defined. The manuscripts
associated with him, however, are among the most important
produced in this period, displaying an innovative approach
to three-dimensional space, derived from Italian painting.
This is thought to have been influential in manuscript and
monumental painting, applied arts and sculpture.

Altichiero da Zevio
( fl 1369; d before 10 April
1393).
Italian painter, veronese scool. He was one of the most
important northern Italian painters of the 14th
century. His style is characterized by an
interest in the depiction of space and volume
and by a preference for soft colours bathed in
suffused light. His narrative paintings have a
solemnity and grandeur that is mitigated by the
lively realism and animation of the figures,
convincingly integrated into settings of
architectural complexity.
