Wall painting, Chapel, Chateau de Chateauneuf

Andrew the apostle, painted in a trompe l'oeil niche holding his diagonal cross, attributed to Pierre Bourguignon Coustain, 15th century, on the wall of the chapel of the Chateau de Chateauneuf, or Chateauneuf-en-Auxois, a 12th and 15th century castle, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France. The rectangular chapel has a wooden barrel vaulted ceiling and walls painted with black, red and gold stripes, a Gothic window with 3 lancets and a copy of the tomb of Philippe Pot, 1428-93, the original being in the Musee du Louvre. Originally built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay, the castle was modified from a medieval fortress to a residence from 1457 under Philippe le Bon, Duc de Bourgogne, or Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, who gave the castle to his advisor Philippe Pot. The castle sits on an outcrop overlooking the valley of the Canal de Bourgogne and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
