EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemnity and grief of two mourners from the tomb of Duc Jean de Berry. Created by the French School in the 15th century, these funerary statues are made of delicate salabaster. The tomb was once housed at the Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges, France. The figures are shrouded in long cloaks with hoods that partially obscure their faces, adding to their air of mystery and sorrow. One mourner is seen holding a book close to their chest, perhaps seeking solace or finding comfort in prayer during this time of mourning. The intricate carving on these figurines showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of medieval art. Every detail, from the folds in their garments to the expressions on their faces, conveys a deep sense of loss and sadness. These pleurants (French for "mourners") stand as a poignant reminder of human mortality and our universal experience with grief. They serve as a testament to Duc Jean de Berry's importance during his lifetime and his lasting impact even after death. Now displayed at Musee du Berry in Bourges, France, these carved statuettes continue to captivate viewers with their emotional power and artistic beauty. This photograph by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this historical artwork while preserving its memory for future generations.
