Hesse de Linange as donor (one of a set of four)

French, Lorraine

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

His coat of arms, crest, and helmet displayed prominently before him, Hesse de Linange kneels in prayer against a patterned cloth with a bejeweled green border. His wife, Madeleine de Grandpré, is portrayed in a similar setting and pose. Hesse de Linange commissioned the panels and their counterparts on the opposite wall, depicting his relatives and their patron saints, for the chapel of the church of the Franciscan convent of the Soeurs Grises in Ormes-et-Villes, Lorraine.
