The Kokkinobaphos Master is the conventional name by which modern historians call a master miniaturist active in Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, during the 12th century.
St Mark, from Great Lavra MS A44
The name was given to the unknown artist by Jeffrey C. Anderson,[1] His first known works, the manuscripts Paris gr. 75 (at the National Library of France) and Vat. Urb. gr. 2 (at the Vatican Library), date to the 1120s.[2] Later works, representative of his mature style, are the Vatican copy of the homilies of James the Monk of Kokkinobaphos (Vat. gr. 1162) executed for the wife of the sebastokratorAndronikos Komnenos, and the so-called "Seraglio Octateuch" (Topkapi gr. 8).[3] The former work has given the painter his name, and is considered as his "grandest creation" and "the longest visual biography of the Virgin ever produced in Byzantium".[4] Other works by the master include the Burney Gospels in the British Library.[5]
He represents "the last Stylistically coherent group of manuscripts known from Constantinople before the city was sacked during the Fourth Crusade in 1204".[6]
