About the Artist

Ferrer Bassa

Spanish painter and miniaturist who worked for the Aragon court. He is considered the founder of the Catalan School, but the only certain surviving work by his hand is a series of frescos in the chapel of S. Miguel at the convent of Pedralbes near Barcelona, executed in 1345-46 and strongly Italianate in style. Bassa's style was fully developed by his own son, Arnau, and by Ramón Destorrents.
