Jacques Daret (c. 1404 – c. 1470)

• Was an Early Netherlandish painter.

• Born in Tournai (Doornik; now in Belgium).

• He would spend there much of his life.

• He was as a pupil of Campin.

• The stylistic similarity between him and the Master of Flémalle is therefore crucial evidence in the identification of the latter with Campin.

• This then becomes an important connection in establishing a link between Robert Campin/the Master of Flémalle and his other pupil, Rogier van der Weyden.

• Many works of Daret are mentioned in Jean de Clercq's account books.
