Altarpiece of the Passion, Eglise de Saint-Roch

Pieta scene, with the Virgin cradling the body of Christ and flanked by St John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene, and above, Mary of Clopas wiping her eyes, from the Altarpiece of the Passion, late 15th century, in the Eglise de Saint-Roch, Ternant, Nievre, Burgundy, France. The altarpiece was commissioned by Charles de Ternant, son of Philippe de Ternant, and depicts scenes of the Passion and the Glorification of Christ, including a sculpted triptych of the Entombment, Crucifixion and Pieta. It was made by Brabant and Flemish workshops in painted and gilded carved wood. The altarpiece has been restored many times and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
