HATTONCHÂTEL CLOISTER

The altar-screen, dating from 1523, is the earliest work attributed to Ligier Richier (see p. [57]). It rested on a marble altar shaped like an antique tomb.

This altar-screen, the projecting parts of which were of gold on a blue background, is divided into three sections, separated by pilasters with finely moulded bases.
