This room presents works of French art from the second
half of the 15th century through to the 17th. In the display of ceramics
from the 16th and 17th centuries there are four unique items from
Saint-Porchaire made of white clay with insets in two darker shades
of clay. The creations of Bernard Palissy and his followers include
"rustic ware" - dishes decorated with relief depictions
of fish and reptiles. Visitors' attention is drawn by the painted
portraits of the 16th century: Portrait of a Young Man by Pierre
Dumoustier and Portrait of Henri, duc d'Anjou(?) by an unknown
artist, as well as The Lamentation by Jacques Bellange, an
outstanding member of the Lorraine school. |
