EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of the Tomb of Francis II, Duke of Brittany and Marguerite of Foix, located in the St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral in Nantes. The tomb, designed by renowned artists Jean Perreal, Guillaume Regnault, Jean Guilhomet, and Jerome Pacherot during the late Gothic period, is a true masterpiece of Renaissance art. In this particular image taken by photographer Adolphe Giraudon in 1892, we see a plaster cast from marble depicting a carved female figure believed to be Anne of Brittany. Her face exudes an air of solemnity as she stands among other mourners within intricately carved niches adorned with apostles and cardinal virtues. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments seems lifelike while delicate carvings adorn their crowns and accessories. The composition showcases the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this stunning funerary monument. Displayed at Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris, France, this photograph not only preserves Michel Colombe's original work but also immortalizes its timeless beauty for generations to come. It serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic legacy found within European cathedrals. As viewers gaze upon this image print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images today, they are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and reverence surrounding this magnificent piece of artistry.
