EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral in Nantes, France. The focal point of the image is the magnificent tomb of Francis II, Duke of Brittany, and his wife Marguerite of Foix. The intricately carved tomb is a masterpiece created by renowned artists Jean Perreal, Guillaume Regnault, Jean Guilhomet, and Jerome Pacherot during the late Gothic period. It showcases an array of symbolic elements such as statues representing virtues like prudence, fortitude, justice, and temperance. The effigies of Francis II and Marguerite lie peacefully on their ornate resting place surrounded by mourners paying their respects. A winged angel stands guard over them while apostles stand tall in niches around them. Every detail in this sculpture exudes elegance and craftsmanship that epitomizes Renaissance artistry. The greyhound symbolizing fidelity rests at Marguerite's feet while a lion representing strength accompanies Francis II. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon in 1892 for preservation purposes at Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris; this plaster cast from marble immortalizes this historical monument for generations to come. This print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history - capturing not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth embedded within these masterpieces.
