Liédet, Loyset
(b ?Hesdin, c. 1420; d Bruges, 1479). South Netherlandish illuminator. His earliest work is a two-volume copy of Jean Mansel’s Fleur des histoires (Paris, Bib. Arsenal, MSS 5087–8), which, according to the colophon, was completed in Hesdin in 1454. A bill dated 29 March 1460 refers to this manuscript, stating that Liédet, who was then in Hesdin, was paid for ‘cinquante cinq histoires, vignettes, grosses lettres et paraffes’ in a Fleur des histoires for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. The influence of SIMON MARMION is very clear on Liédet’s best miniatures in the first volume. In the second volume there is stylistic evidence that Liédet collaborated with the Master of Amiens 200, named after a Book of Hours (Amiens, Bib. Mun., MS. 200), who originated from Marmion’s circle.
