Nicolas Dipre
Edit ProfileCareer
Among the Avignon artists of the late 15th and early 16th century, the name Nicola Dipre is among the most famous. The first written record of his existence dates from 1495 when he lived in Avignon, having lived and worked there his whole life, often working for the city government. Apart from commissions to design numerous altarpieces, Dipre also was hired to execute other forms of decorations, like processional banners and heraldry.
An altarpiece executed for the Carpentras Cathedral, for which Dipre was paid 115 florins, has survived in fragments and with it as a basis, other works have been identified as having the same originator.
He doubted his own abilities, by the Lord fulfilled his request.
