The Master of Guillebert de Mets is named after the scribe who recorded his name in an illuminated copy of Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron, made for Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy, to which he contributed many of its miniatures. The artist painted in an easily recognizable style. His figures have prominent heads with well-delineated eyes and small mouths, slender torsos with thin, spindly legs, and long, finely worked fingers. Many of his miniatures, such as this Last Judgment, show that he often favored tesselated backgrounds comprising delicately worked checkered patterns.
