‘At least one Italian artist – identified tentatively as Zebo da Ferenze – was painting in Paris at this period ((c[irca] 1405). Manuscripts associated with him are usually sumptuously, if erratically, decorated, and they had a baleful influence. The border decoration of Parisian manuscripts, such as those of the artist called the Master of the Duke of Bedford, often seem to run wild and to lack the restraint that had been a characteristic of Parisian painting up to this date.’
