Jean Bondol

Jean Bondol, also known as Jean de Bruges or Jan Baudolf, is the author of the illuminations in a translation of the Vulgate which is presented to Charles V of France by his valet Jehan Vaudetar.

It is now in the Westreen Museum at the Hague, a museum which contains many interesting missals of a similar character.

These illuminations are executed in the year 1371, a period when art in the Netherlands is making rapid advances beyond the conventionality of the early fourteenth century, and the work of Jean de Bruges is by no means behind that of his contemporaries.

He also produces a number tapestries.
