1380 in the Lower Rhine region or possibly Zutphen in the Netherlands, who died ca.

He is called "Fratre Francone Zutphanico" ("Brother Frank of Zutphen") in one document.

He may have trained as an illuminator and painter in France or the Netherlands, and later worked in Münster, before joining in St John's Friary in Hamburg by 1424 at the latest.
