Description: | This appears to be a copy (possibly made in the eighteenth century) of a fifteenth century portrait representing Jean 1er Michel, Bishop of the city of Angers between 1439 and 1447. Originally from Beauvais, he gained a reputation for great piety after his death. Numerous miracles were reported to have taken place after his death. Jean 1er Michel is wearing a blue cape, which was the usual colour worn by the bishops of Anjou. The coat of arms shown in the painting can also be found on a stained-glass window in Angers cathedral. | Subjects: | portrait (Jean 1er Michel) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to German School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8994... | Go to resource |
