About Anastasia

Lived 1301 – 1401 (aged 99–100). Anastasia was an illuminator.

Anastasia (flourished c. 1400 in Paris) was a French illuminator of manuscripts, apparently specializing in the elaborate decorative borders that were increasingly fashionable, and landscape backgrounds. In her day most manuscripts were produced in commercial workshops, and many artists were women, probably especially those specializing in borders, which were often produced by a different artist from the main miniature image.
