Jacques Daret (c. Daret spent 15 years as a pupil in the studio of Robert Campin, alongside Rogelet de la Pature (assumed by scholars to be Roger van der Weyden, and afterwards became a master in his own right.

Though many works of Daret are mentioned in Jean de Clercq's account books, only four panels of Daret's works are known to have survived: all are from the Altarpiece of the Virgin, painted for the abbot between 1433 and 1435. This is argued by most scholars to be evidence that the Master of Flémalle was Daret's master, Robert Campin.
