Part of stall play (?) in oak carved in bas-relief representing Louis XI holding in his hand the Virgin of Notre-Dame de Clery in an architectural frame with twin columns, pendant gables, lanceolate bellows fillings Late 15th century. Height: 65 cm - Width: 22 cm According to legend, the church of Notre-Dame was built in Cléry in Orléanais where a statue of the Virgin Mary was discovered. Destroyed for the most part during the Hundred Years' War, it owes its reconstruction to Louis XI who vowed to rebuild it, then still a dolphin, after Dieppe's victory over the English in 1443. This oak panel, probably a remnant of a set of stalls, shows here a very rare iconography - perhaps unique - in the carpentry of the late Middle Ages, both in the subject and in the precision of the architectural details of the frame.
