27Simon Marmion (1420-1489) was a French or
Burgundian Early Netherlandish painter of panels
and illuminated manuscripts. Marmion lived and
worked in what is now France but for most of his
lifetime was part of the Duchy of Burgundy in the
Southern Netherlands. He was patronized by Philip
the Good, the Duke of Burgundy from 1454 when he
was one of several artists called to Lille to
work on the decorations for the Feast of the
Pheasant.
