EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The tomb of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy" in all its intricate glory. Created by a team of talented artists including Jean de Marville, Claus Sluter, and Claus de Werve, this masterpiece was commissioned for the monastery of Champmol between 1385 and 1410. Crafted from alabaster and marble, the tomb is a stunning example of Gothic artistry. The effigy of Philip the Bold lies at its center, surrounded by majestic lions and ethereal angels. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in the fabric and expression on each face has been meticulously sculpted. One cannot help but be drawn to the pleurants - mournful figures depicted on either side of the tomb. These monks represent grief and sorrow over Philip's passing, adding an emotional depth to this already awe-inspiring piece. Originally commissioned by Jean de Marville, it was later passed on to Claus Sluter who brought his own artistic vision to life. Finally completed by Claus de Werve with polychroming and gilding by Jean Malouel, this collaborative effort resulted in a true masterpiece that stands as a testament to their skill. Now housed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France, this historic treasure continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder not only of Philip's legacy but also as an enduring symbol of medieval artistry at its finest.
