Hesse de Linange as donor (one of a set of four)

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

His coat of arms, crest, and helmet displayed prominently before him, Hesse de Linange kneels in prayer against a patterned cloth with a bejeweled green border. His wife, Madeleine de Grandpré, is portrayed in a similar setting and pose. Hesse de Linange commissioned the panels and their counterparts on the opposite wall, depicting his relatives and their patron saints, for the chapel of the church of the Franciscan convent of the Soeurs Grises in Ormes-et-Villes, Lorraine.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
