Brou, Priory Church: Detail, Tomb of Margaret of Bourbon

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

G. Massiot & cie
Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of France
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

The tomb of Margaret of Bourbon is related to a widespread late medieval type: her effigy, watched by angels, lies on a sarcophagus decorated with weepers, with a greyhound (symbol of fidelity) at her feet, the whole fitted into a recess in the south wall of the choir screen.

Former Benedictine priory church, dedicated to St Nicholas of Tolentino, near Bourg-en-Bresse, Burgundy, France. Situated on an important road linking the northern provinces with Italy, the church was built by Margaret of Austria, who secured the services of artists from the south Netherlands, Burgundy, Italy and France. It is notable for its surviving rood screen and richly carved choir-stalls (1530-1532), executed by Pierre Berchod (called Terrasson). Margaret, her third husband Philibert II, Duke of Savoy, and his mother, Margaret of Bourbon, are all buried in tombs (sculpted by Conrat Meit) within the church.
