EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite Effigy of Duc Jean de Berry, a prominent figure in French history. The effigy is a funerary statue depicting Duc Jean de Berry, who was the Count of Poitiers from 1416 to 1438. Crafted by the talented artist Jean de Cambrai, this marble masterpiece resides in the Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Bourges, France. Previously housed at the Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges, it now rests peacefully in the cathedral's crypt. Duc Jean de Berry was not only known for his noble lineage as the son of Jean II le Bon and Bonne de Luxembourg but also for his patronage of arts and culture during his lifetime. This regal effigy showcases him lying gracefully with a crown adorning his head. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect has been meticulously carved - from the intricate ermine patterns on his robe to the presence of two bears at either side symbolizing strength and power. These animals add an element of wildlife to this magnificent piece. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - honoring one man's legacy through artistry and craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to Duc Jean de Berry's influence during his reign as Duke and Count while reminding us of our own mortality.
