Saint Hubert and the Stag

East French

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 16

This relief represents the moment of Hubert's conversion, which occured when he encountered a white stag bearing a crucifix between its antlers while hunting during Holy Week. Renouncing all worldly life, Hubert first became a hermit, was later ordained a priest, and finally became the bishop of Liège. Deeply undercut, the relief depicts the miraculous scene with boldness and rich detail.
