Chapel, Chateau de Chateauneuf, Burgundy, France

Rectangular chapel, 15th century, with wooden barrel vaulted ceiling and walls painted with black, red and gold stripes and trompe l'oeil paintings of Christ blessing and the 12 apostles, attributed to Pierre Bourguignon Coustain, a Gothic window with 3 lancets and a copy of the tomb of Philippe Pot, 1428-93, the original being in the Musee du Louvre, in the Chateau de Chateauneuf, or Chateauneuf-en-Auxois, a 12th and 15th century castle, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France. The tomb consists of an effigy laid on a bed in knightly attire, with a lion at his feet, and 6 pallbearers clad in hooded black habits. It was originally in the chapel of St John the Baptist in the Abbey of Citeaux. Originally built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay, the castle was modified from a medieval fortress to a residence from 1457 under Philippe le Bon, Duc de Bourgogne, or Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, who gave the castle to his advisor Philippe Pot. The castle sits on an outcrop overlooking the valley of the Canal de Bourgogne and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
