EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite effigy of Duc Jean de Berry, a prominent historical figure from the 14th century. Count of Poitiers and son of Jean II le Bon and Bonne de Luxembourg, Duc Jean de Berry's legacy is immortalized in this stunning marble sculpture. The intricate details captured in this image highlight the craftsmanship of sculptor Cambrai, who skillfully depicted every aspect of Duc Jean de Berry's regal presence. The count lies peacefully with his eyes closed, wearing a majestic crown that symbolizes his noble lineage. His hands are delicately positioned as if frozen in eternal prayer or contemplation. Formerly housed at the Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges, this remarkable funerary statue now finds its place within the crypt of Saint-Etienne Cathedral. Its relocation has allowed visitors to marvel at its beauty while paying homage to one of France's esteemed dukes. The effigy not only serves as a portrait but also represents Duc Jean de Berry's patronage and influence during his lifetime. Adorned with ermine fur, a symbol associated with royalty and power, it further emphasizes his status among the elite. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary piece of artistry that captures both the physical likeness and spiritual essence of Duc Jean de Berry. It stands as a testament to his lasting impact on French history and culture for generations to come.
