[continued]

*‘Although details such as face and hands continued to be described chiefly by means of line, in a subsequent development drapery and other shapes were modelled in light and shade. This “discovery of light”, partial and piecemeal though it was, began around 1270-80[ce]** but is particularly associated with a well-known Parisian royal illuminator called Master Honoré, who was active around 1288-1300 or later.’
