The tomb of Philippe Pot

Philippe Pot (1428–1493) was a Burgundian nobleman, military leader, and diplomat. He was the seigneur of La Roche and Thorey-sur-Ouche, a Knight of the Golden Fleece, and the Grand Seneschal of Burgundy.

Emile Mâle:

We do not know the name of the astonishing artist who, about 1480, designed the tomb of Philippe Pot, formerly at Cîteaux and now in the Louvre. The mourners, enlarged to life-size, have been transformed into pallbearers, and on their shoulders rests the stone slab bearing the recumbent effigy of the Seneschal of Burgundy, clad in his armor. These are eight relatives, all of the noble house of Burgundy, for each one carries a shield on which his kinship is indicated. They tread with heavy step, bowed down by the weight of the deceased on their shoulders, but apparently with even greater weight in their hearts. Nothing could be more real, more solid, than these eight knights as massive as Romanesque pillars; yet at the same time, nothing could be more mysterious. The great figures veiled in black are as frightening as specters of the night. Certainly, they do not belong to this world: sent by Death, they show themselves for a moment, but shortly they will vanish, to return to the land of shadows.
