Saint Germain and a Donor
Not on view
Wearing a miter on his head and holding a crozier in one hand, this commanding figure represents a bishop. He is identified in the inscription on the base as "Germain," either the bishop of Paris or, perhaps more likely, given the Burgundian style of the carving, of Auxerre. The tiny churchman kneeling at his feet is identified as "H. Cordier" in the inscription, but nothing is known of his life apart from the donation of this imposing sculpture.
