EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning detail of the Tomb of Francis II, Duke of Brittany and Marguerite of Foix, located in the St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral in Nantes. The focus is on the rear view of Prudence, an effigy known as a self-portrait by Michel Colombe, dating back to 1502-07. The plaster cast from marble reveals intricate details carved by Colombe himself during the late Gothic period. The artist's mastery is evident in every stroke that brings this cardinal virtue to life. With its two-headed angel wings and serene expression, Prudence stands as a testament to Colombe's skillful craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this old monument frozen in time, we are transported back to the Renaissance era when art flourished under talented hands like Jean Perreal, Guillaume Regnault, Jean Guilhomet (Jean de Chartres), and Jerome Pacherot (Girolamo de Fiesole). Their collaborative efforts resulted in this magnificent mausoleum that pays homage to Francis II and Marguerite of Foix. The aged statues surrounding Prudence add depth and character to this composition while emphasizing the reverence paid to those laid at rest within these hallowed walls. From the bearded figures representing wisdom and experience to winged angels symbolizing divinity, each element contributes to an atmosphere steeped in history. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon in 1892 for Musee
