Melchior Broederlam (c. 1355 – 1411)

                                                                                                       

The Dijon Altarpiece

1393-1399

Broederlam was an extremely influential artist from the Gothic Art period, but, unfortunately, only one extant work can be cleanly attributed to him. His influence though has been long surviving, including the influence he had on the fabulous van Eyck. As for the piece, the panels are full of wonderful details, especially the crimson seraphim swarming around a blowing figure that I'm not sure the identity of. Does anyone know who it is?
