Statues, Chapelle du Chateau de Montriou, Feneu
Statues of the 3 Marys and St Anne, on the altar in the Chapelle du Chateau de Montriou, a small Flamboyant Gothic chapel, 15th century, originally attached to the Chateau de Montriou, founded 1484 by Charlotte de Beauvau, daughter of a senechal of Anjou, in Feneu, Maine-et-Loire, France. The statues depict (left-right) St Anne with her daughter Mary and a closed book; Virgin Mary with Christ child with no book (Christ is the word of God); Mary Salome with her children St James and St John, with a half open book, and Mary of Clopas with her sons James the Lesser, Jude, Joseph and Simon, with an open book. In the stained glass windows are the coats of arms of the Cassin de la Loge family, of whom the current owners are descendants. The chapel contains late 15th century frescoes of the Passion of Christ. The chapel is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
