History

Jacques Daret (born c. 1404, Tournai, Fr.—died c. 1470) was an early French Renaissance painter of Tournai whose work shows the strong influence of the Master of FlĂ©malle. Only one group of his works is known, that from the period 1433–35. The Flemish realism developed by the Master of FlĂ©malle was adapted by Daret, who later headed the guild of Tournai. Daret’s style, though imitative, can be seen at its best in the altarpiece for St. Vaast, Arras (part of which is now in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin). He was also an illuminator, a tapestry-cartoon designer, and a decorator for royal festivities.
