Fresco, Chapter House, Fontevraud Abbey, Loire Valley, France

Resurrection fresco, Chapter House, Fontevraud Abbey, Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Loire Valley, Maine-et-Loire, France. The Chapter House was built in the 16th century and its walls were painted in 1563 with frescoes of scenes from Christ's Passion by the Anjou artist Thomas Pot. Here we see Christ's resurrection into Heaven. He is clothed in red and holds the red standard with white cross which has been the flag of the French army since the 14th century. The abbey itself was founded in 1100 by Robert of Arbrissel, who created the Order of Fontevraud. It was a double monastery for monks and nuns, run by an abbess. Picture by Manuel Cohen
