EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate and beautiful sculptures found in the Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Chaource, Aube, France. The sculptural group of Nicolas de Monstier and his wife Jacqueline de Laignes, donors of the Entombment piece created by the Master of Chaource in 1515, is a true masterpiece that reflects the couple's devotion to their faith.
The sepulchral chapel where these sculptures are located is a sacred space within the crypt of this historic Catholic church, which dates back to the 12th - 16th century. The church itself is listed as a historic monument, adding to its significance as a place of religious worship and artistic expression.
In this image, we see Nicolas and Jacqueline depicted in polychrome sculpture, kneeling in prayer at an altar. Their portraits exude a sense of piety and devotion that is truly moving to behold. The attention to detail in their likenesses speaks volumes about the skill and artistry of the Master of Chaource.
As we gaze upon this photograph by Manuel Cohen from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back in time to witness not only a work of fine art but also a testament to love, faith, and dedication between husband and wife who chose to immortalize their legacy through these exquisite sculptures.
