Saint Hubertus Day and a beautiful chapel

 Salvete Omnes,

Saint Hubertus Feast day and the iconography of the saint and his hunt are not new to my blog.

We will stay in the French kingdom, at the end of the XV century and early XVI century



From Gallica French National Library, digital division,  comes this illumination ( of the Hours of Anne de Bretagne)  by Jean Bourdichon  painted circa 1503-1508AD - 

a groom or servant with warhorse 








Fantastic relief from the beautiful chapel, dedicated to saint Hubertus himself, built in the Amboise Castle in 1493AD . Incidentally Leonardo da Vinci is buried inside this beautiful chapel. 




.

enjoy
