Gold chainmail is visible beneath the collar of a man whose spindly fingers grasp a ring and a hammer in this man's portrait of Francesco D'Este. Another subject holds a white arrow while displaying the Order of the Golden Fleece, suggesting his parentage by Philip the Good, at whose Burgundian court this artist was a fixture. (*) Crossbow imagery abounds in a work by this painter commissioned by the Louvain Archer's Guild; that work shows a man in pale blue at top and a skull on the ground next to the hand of a fainting woman in blue who mirrors the central figure, who is lowered by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. A red cloak features prominently in all three sections in a panel altarpiece by this student of Robert Campin. For 10 points, name this artist of a famous Descent From The Cross and the Miraflores Altarpiece, a leading early Flemish painter.
