BEAUNEVEU, ANDRÉ. - Painter, miniaturist, sculptor, perhaps architect, b. in France; he worked between 1360 and 1403 also in Flanders and England: at the castle of Barr for Iolanda, lady of Cassel (1360), at Valenciennes (1361–62 and 1374), at Malines (1374–75; 1383–84), at Ypres (1377), and at Cambrai (1378).
The works that may be attributed to him with certainty are the funerary statues (abbey of S. Denis) commissioned from him in 1364 by Carlo V, and the twenty-four delightful miniatures of the Psalter of the duke of Berry (National Library of Paris). The tomb of Count L. di Mâle (Courtrai, church of Notre-Dame), begun in 1374, was left unfinished.
His style, although following the course of late Gothic, contains highly effective realistic elements.
