Tomb Effigy of Jean d'Alluye Date: mid-13th century Geography: Made in Touraine, Loire Valley Culture: French Medium: Limestone Dimensions: 83 1/2 x 34 1/4 in. (212.1 x 87 cm) Classification: Sculpture-Architectural Credit Line: The Cloisters Collection, 1925 Accession Number: 25.120.201 Description: This image of the knight Jean d’Alluye comes from the abbey at La Clarté-Dieu, which he founded in 1239, before setting out on Crusade to the Holy Land in 1241. He returned safely to France by 1244, carrying with him a relic of the True Cross, presented to him by the bishop of Hiera Petra, on Crete. It seems he somehow also acquired his sword during his travels, as its trefoil pommel conforms to contemporary examples from China. The effigy is supported by a modern base.

Tomb Effigy of a Boy, Probably Ermengol IX, Count of Urgell Date: first half 14th century Culture: Catalan Medium: Limestone, traces of paint Dimensions: 15 3/8 x 33 7/8 x 15 1/4 in. (39 x 86 x 38.7 cm) Classification: Sculpture Credit Line: The Cloisters Collection, 1975 Accession Number: 1975.129 Description: The arms of the counts of Urgell on the shoulder strap of this effigy of a boy suggest that it represents Ermengol IX, the uncle of Ermengol X and the only count of Urgell to die as a boy. Because the tomb is too small for the body of a youth of the age portrayed in the effigy, it was probably used after a chaux vive burial, in which the remains were interred in quicklime for at least a year and then transferred to the small sarcophagus. Since at least the early nineteenth century, this effigy, along with its original sarcophagus and lion supports, now in the Gothic cathedral at Lerida known as the Seu Vella (Seo Antigua), was in the wall niche in the church of Santa Maria at Castelló de Farfanya. Whether it was ever in the monastery church at Bellpuig de les Avellanes with the other tombs of the counts of Urgell is unknown.

Tomb Effigy Bust of Marie de France (1327-41), daughter of Charles IV of France and Jeanne d'Evreux Jean de Liège (Franco-Netherlandish, active ca. 1361, died 1381) Date: ca. 1381 Geography: Made in, Île de France Culture: French Medium: Marble with lead inlays Dimensions: Overall (without base): 12 1/4 x 12 3/4 x 6 3/16 in. (31.1 x 32.4 x 15.7 cm) Classification: Sculpture-Stone Credit Line: Gift of George Blumenthal, 1941 Accession Number: 41.100.132 Description: The Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis was the burial church for the rulers of France and their families. This elegant image once formed a part of the tomb effigy of the princess Marie de France (1326–1341) and her sister Blanche de France (1328–1393), daughters of Charles IV (1294–1328) and Jeanne d’Evreux (before 1313–1371). Although Marie died young, her effigy was not carved until about 1381 by the court sculptor Jean de Liège. The image here of the tomb is from a drawing made before 1715. Many of the tombs in the abbey were vandalized in the wake of the French Revolution. Originally the head rested upon a stone pillow, and the princess wore a metal crown. Her braided hair is arranged in the courtly fashion contemporary with the carving of the bust. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/1700...

Tomb Effigy of Jean d'Alluye From the Cistercian abbey of La Clarte-Dieu, north of Tours, mid-13th century French, Carved in Touraine, Loire Valley Limestone Accession # 25.120.201 Jean d'Alluye was a knight of Philip Augustus and one of the principal nobles of the Loire Valley. His career included a trip to the Holy Land, where he acquired a relic of the True Cross. In 1248 he was entombed at La Clarte-Dieu, the abbey near Tours that he had founded in 1239. This effigy, in an attitude of prayer, was turned upside down and used as a bridge over a nearby stream. Around 1900 it was purchased from a Paris dealer by George Grey Barnard, an American whose collection forms the core of the Cloisters. Text from the Cloisters label.

Double Tomb of Don Àlvar Rodrigo de Cabrera, Count of Urgell and His Wife Cecília of Foix Date: ca. 1300–1350 Culture: Catalan Medium: Limestone, traces of paint Dimensions: a: 19 x 82 7/8 x 28 1/4 in. b: 21 x 74 3/4 x 26 in. c: 16 x 74 x 29 in. d: 24 3/4 x 66 3/8 x 24 3/4 in. Classification: Sculpture Credit Line: The Cloisters Collection, 1948 Accession Number: 48.140.1a–d Description: Documentary evidence suggests that this tomb ensemble was made for Àlvar Rodrigo de Cabrera and his wife, Cecília of Foix, the parents of Ermengol X. The monastery of Bellpuig de les Avellanes was abandoned and badly damaged during the Wars of Succession that began around 1700. When the monastery was reinhabited in the 18th century, the church with its burial chapel was reconstructed. The sarcophagi with the arms of the counts of Urgell and Foix were probably made at that time to fit the original effigies. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/471320
