French, 15th century

French 15th century refers to anonymous or unattributed artists working in France during the 1400s, a period marked by the transition from medieval Gothic traditions to early Renaissance influences. These painters and illuminators often produced devotional works, altarpieces, and manuscript illuminations reflecting the Franco-Flemish style that dominated northern European courts. Works attributed to this collective designation frequently surface at major auction houses, representing a rich but historically obscure chapter of Western art history.
