Tomb of Philip the Bold, engraving, Chateau de
Engraving of the tomb of Philippe le Hardi (Philippe II, duc de Bourgogne) or Philip the Bold (Philip II, Duke of Burgundy), 1342-1404, from the antechamber on the first floor of the Chateau de Chateauneuf, or Chateauneuf-en-Auxois, a 12th and 15th century castle in Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France. The tomb consists of a painted alabaster effigy with lion and angels, and below, figures of pleurants or weepers among Gothic tracery. The tomb was made 1381-1410 by Jean de Marville, Claus Sluter and Claus de Werve, with polychrome and gilt decoration by Jean Malouel. It was originally placed in the Chartreuse de Champmol but is now in the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, housed in the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, or Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne.
