Jaime Huguet
Spanish painter
Jaime Huguet (born c. 1415—died 1492) was an influential Spanish painter, the last important master of Catalan Gothic painting, established in Barcelona in 1448, where many of his best surviving works are to be seen. With the aid of assistants, he produced many large, composite altarpieces. His style, reflecting French, Italian, and Flemish influences, is distinguished by a combination of highly individualized heads and a purely decorative treatment of costume and background ornamented with patterned and embossed gold.
