Such canopy were commonly located on portals but they were also often inside of churches, over tombs or in private chapels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stylistically, the canopy fits within the Flamboyant subcategory of Gothic architecture, which is characterized by curvilinear tracery and flame-like shapes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In France, Flamboyant started to gain &nbsp;popularity in the late 14th century, relying on texture to \u00ab&nbsp;infuse a building inside and outside with a Late Gothic character&nbsp;\u00bb. There is a real focus on surface decoration in these buildings and our canopy fits well within that repertoire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distinctive character of this canopy is gained through the deep drill-work, which creates deep shadows and a lace-like effect on the surface of this&nbsp; micro-architectural sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dated to the second half of 15th century, this canopy exhibits a mature side of the Flamboyant style, where gothic vocabulary started to&nbsp; be integrated into Renaissance composition. The tracery is foliate in character, which is reminiscent of the organic forms on late medieval Gothic buildings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few such canopies have survived; such lace-like stonework is fragile and the many&nbsp; alterations made to tombs and private&nbsp;chapels over the centuries have jeopardize their survival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as these architectural items do not have the same sacred nature as effigies themselves, they have also suffered more from destruction &#8211; whether due to&nbsp; changes in taste, wars of religion and French Revolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-Abbaye-de-Saint-Denis-RF-1256-E-218x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Stone canopy, Louvre, RF 1256 E\" class=\"wp-image-1489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-Abbaye-de-Saint-Denis-RF-1256-E-218x300.jpeg 218w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-Abbaye-de-Saint-Denis-RF-1256-E-746x1024.jpeg 746w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-Abbaye-de-Saint-Denis-RF-1256-E-768x1055.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-Abbaye-de-Saint-Denis-RF-1256-E.jpeg 964w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup><sub>Stone canopy, Louvre, RF 1256 E<\/sub><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dais-albatre-jean-sans-peur-300x176.jpeg\" alt=\"Alabaster canopy, Louvre, RF 4489\" class=\"wp-image-1487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dais-albatre-jean-sans-peur-300x176.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dais-albatre-jean-sans-peur-1024x602.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dais-albatre-jean-sans-peur-768x451.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dais-albatre-jean-sans-peur.jpeg 1470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup><sub>Alabaster canopy, Louvre, RF 4489<\/sub><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-RF-2608-300x265.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-RF-2608-300x265.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-RF-2608-1024x906.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-RF-2608-768x680.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/deibardiart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Louvre-RF-2608.jpeg 1530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup><sub>Gothic canopy, Louvre, RF 2608<\/sub><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Provenance: &#8211; Private collection Gen\u00e8ve, Switzerland &nbsp; This masterful, three-sided canopy is carved in the Flamboyant style, which first developed in France in the 14th century.&nbsp; The tracery is composed by micro-architectural pinnacles decorated by crockets; the underside of the&nbsp; canopy is decorated by a groin vault&nbsp; which suggest that the canopy would have originally [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1477,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"class_list":["post-1476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sculpture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 -
