Colart de Laon
French, b. 1350
Colart de Laon is a French Northern Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museo del Prado.

The colors are soft but the lines are sharp, part of the quiet realism of the period. Look closer at the donor’s face—his worried eyes give the scene weight. Tap the painting to see the brushstrokes up close.
