Exhibition of photos on the stalls

The stalls (seats of the religious churches cathedrals, abbeys, collegiates) are richly sculpted in the Middle Ages: the exhibition will show the variety and richness of this decoration.
17 and 18 September 2022Passed

In the Middle Ages, the stalls (wooden seats reserved for canons or monks of cathedral, collegiate or abbey churches) were often richly carved. The decor can be religious or secular. The exhibition presents the many subjects represented by the craftsmen, serious or amusing, taken from Holy History or everyday life, from literature or from the imagination, sometimes unbridled, of the sculptors. Explanations accompany the photos from different regions of France, and allow to better understand the art of stalls of the late Middle Ages.

The church of Saint-Martin-aux-bois is exceptional by its height (23 m under vault) and its Gothic architecture. Its apse in seven pieces calls back(reminds) that of the Saint chapel but is glazed of dullnesses, sieve(airlock,sieves,airlocks) stalls (1498-1501) show religious stages(scenes) in highly-rated of representations of the everyday life, of proverbs, of animals playing music. this church shelters besides a wall painting of the end of the XVth century and a polychrome pulpit of the XVIth century.
