JEAN DE LIEGE. Tomb Effigy Bust of Marie de France (1327-41), daughter of Charles IV of France and Jeanne d'Evreux

JEAN DE LIEGE. Tomb Effigy Bust of Marie de France (1327-41), daughter of Charles IV of France and Jeanne d'Evreux. Artist: Jean de Liège (Franco-Netherlandish, active ca. 1361-died 1381). Culture: French. 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). Date: ca. 1381.
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.
