Jacques Daret
Tournai, c. 1400/1405-c. 1468
A painter connected with the city of Tournai and the son of a sculptor, Daret was trained in the workshop of Robert Campin where he is listed as an apprentice in 1428, and where he coincided with the presence of Rogier van der Weyden. As well as training as a painter he subsequently learned the art of miniature, beginning his apprenticeship in 1436 and achieving the status of master in 1438. From 1432 he worked as an independent artist and is registered in the painters' guild of his native city. Between 1433 and 1435 he worked in Arras for the Abbey of Saint-Vaast, where he is again documented between 1441 and 1452. In 1454 he worked in Lille for the Burgundian court, while in 1468 in Bruges he worked on the decorations for the celebrations of the marriage of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, with Margaret of York, which took place in that city. His work has been grouped in stylistic relation to the commission in Arras: four panels which have survived from the polyptych commissioned by the Abbot Jean de Clercq. The Arras panels show his stylistic debt to Robert Campin, as well as to the work of Rogier van der Weyden.
