The Mourners From the Tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy

New media technology has brought a classic 15th century tomb to life. Breathtaking.

“The Mourners from the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy are deeply affecting works of art. Beyond their evident visual and narrative qualities, we cannot help but be struck by the emotion they convey as they follow the funeral procession, weeping, praying, singing, lost in thought, giving vent to their grief, or consoling their neighbor. Mourning, they remind us, is a collective experience, common to all people and all moments in history.”

Sophie Jugie, Director, Musée des Beaux-Arts. Dijon
