BEAUNEVEU, ANDRÉ
(d. 1402). Sculptor and painter active in Flanders and in France during the last third of the
14th century. Beauneveu was commissioned to carve a tomb figure of Charles V in 1364
and is documented as embellishing the duke of Berry’s château at Mehun-sur-Yèvre with
sculptures and paintings in 1386. The duke’s inventories state that he also painted the
miniatures of prophets and Apostles at the beginning of the duke’s psalter (B.N. fr.
13091). These miniatures are executed in grisaille, in a style emulating the volumetric
effects of sculpture, for which Beauneveu was renowned. He has also been credited with
painting the Parement de Narbonne in the Louvre and miniatures in the Très belles
heures de Notre Dame in Paris (B.N. n.a. lat. 3093), but these attributions remain
controversial.
