Jean Changenet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was probably the son of Jean I Changenet and brother of Pierre Changenet, both also painters active in Dijon. Modern studies tentatively identify him with the third Master of the Burgundian Prelates.[1]
He is recorded as being in Avignon from 1485 until his death early in 1495. With his wife Antoinette Henri he had two children, Michèle and Delphine, the former of which married Josse Lieferinxe in 1503.
His many commissions in only a dozen years confirm his reputation as the most important painter active in Avignon[2] between the generation of Nicolas Froment and that of Nicolas Dipre. He set up his studio there early in the 1480s on rue de la Miraillerie. In 1492 he was one of two masters of the painters' confraternity of Saint Luke in the city. In 1493, he welcomed his "Spanish companion" Juan de Nalda and trained him for three years.[2]
