The stage setting in Jean Pucelle's Belleville Breviary reflects Italian influence. Italian trecento (14th-century) painting favored this type of stage setting, with figures placed in architectural settings that create the illusion of depth and space. Additionally, Jean Pucelle was likely exposed to Italian art through French court patronage of Italian artists and the presence of Italian artists in Paris during his lifetime.
