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 print showcases a plaster cast from marble, depicting the intricate carving known as "Fortitude" by Michel Colombe. In this particular detail, we are drawn to the representation of strength embodied by Fortitude herself. Standing tall with an armored figure holding a helmet at her feet, she exudes power and resilience. A loyal greyhound stands faithfully beside her while a fierce dragon lies defeated beneath her feet. The late Gothic style is evident in every meticulously carved feature - from the delicate folds of Fortitude's gown to the intricately designed tower behind her. Surrounding Fortitude are other figures such as angels, apostles, mourners, and cardinal virtues that add depth and symbolism to this elaborate mausoleum. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon in 1892 for Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris, this image beautifully captures not only the artistry but also the historical significance of this Renaissance masterpiece. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and beauty that resides within St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral's hallowed walls
