EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of grief and mourning in a medieval masterpiece. Titled "Two Mourners, from the tomb of Duc Jean de Berry" this marble sculpture is a poignant representation of sorrow and loss. The two figures depicted in the photograph are shrouded in veils, their faces hidden behind their hands. Their posture exudes an overwhelming sense of sadness as they stand beside the tomb, paying homage to Duc Jean de Berry (1340-1416). The intricate carving showcases the skillful craftsmanship of artist Jean de Cambrai (d. 1438), who created these funerary statues with great attention to detail. Originally housed at the Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges, France, this somber scene evokes a profound emotional response. The pleurants' cloaks and hoods add to the gothic aesthetic, emphasizing their role as mourners during this solemn occasion. As we gaze upon this statuette captured by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be drawn into its melancholic atmosphere. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people experienced deep grief and expressed it through art. Displayed at Musee du Berry in Bourges today, these carved figurines continue to captivate viewers with their timeless portrayal of mourning. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also the historical significance behind such masterpieces from our past.
