The Cluny Museum is showing a small but intriguing and beautifully displayed exhibition of the Mourners of the Tomb of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy.
It gives the unique opportunity to see in detail the 39 figures forming the procession of the dead prince in a scenography highlighting the dramatic intensity and the subtlety of each sculpture.
The mourners of the tomb are among the masterpieces of 15th century Burgundian sculpture. Jean de La Huerta and Antoine Le Moiturier are the 2 artists who worked on the tomb.
