RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE IN FRANCE. 



before 1517, now destroyed). This last was by Mazzoni and had bronze 

 figures with gilding and blue enamel. The large white marble monu- 

 ment to the House of Orleans (now at St Denis) was ordered at Genoa 



by Louis XII. (1502) and 

 placed in the church of the 

 Celestine monks in Paris, 

 long a favourite burial 

 place (1516). The great 

 wall-niche tomb of Bishop 

 Thomas James in Dol 

 Cathedral in coloured ala- 

 baster (1504-7) was the 

 work chiefly of Jehan Juste 

 (Giovanni di Giusto). 



TOMBS BY FRENCH- 

 MEN. Unlike the above, 

 some tombs of the period 

 show the usual contempor- 

 ary mixture of style. For 

 example, in the church of 

 Brou, built for Margaret 

 of Austria as a mausoleum 

 for her husband, Philibert 

 of Savoy, and herself, the 

 architecture, both of the 

 building and of the pedes- 

 tals and canopies of the 

 tomb, are in the extremest 

 type of Flamboyant ; but 

 the Renaissance slabs and 

 statuary were obtained 

 under the influence of 

 Jehan Perreal from Col- 

 ombe's studio (c. 1511). 



Examples of wall-niche 

 tombs in transitional style 

 are those of Duke Rene II. 

 of Lorraine in the Fran- 

 church at Nancy
