Louis XIV period, in its carved wooden frame of the same period
In addition to the classic representation of these Holy Shrouds with the three bishops traditionally positioned in front of the shroud, there is a fine, rich floral decoration and a rare medallion of an angel at the foot of the Cross, piously recovering the shroud that wrapped Christ's body.
This is a great work of gold-spun polychrome embroidery on a cream-colored satin ground.
The faces of the mitred bishop and the two canons are of rare finesse. Our three figures hold the Passion shroud.
The history of the Besançon Shroud is fascinating. From 1517 until its mysterious disappearance during the French Revolution, it was the object of great veneration and spectacular devotions.
Used condition for this piece from the second half of the 17th or very early 18th century, with wear and damp stains.
