French, circa 1350

'French, circa 1350' is an auction house attribution used to identify anonymous works created in France during the mid-fourteenth century, a period marked by the flourishing of Gothic art under the reign of John II. Artists of this era were typically anonymous craftsmen, illuminators, or panel painters working within religious and courtly traditions, producing devotional objects, manuscript illuminations, and carved works for ecclesiastical and aristocratic patrons. Their output reflects the refined International Gothic sensibility emerging across Western Europe during this tumultuous period of the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death.
