# Monument for the Heart of Henri II [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PILON, Germain]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble, height 150 cm ## Commentary This marble monument was originally in the Celestine church in Paris. It was doubtless inspired by a perfume burner conceived by Raphael for François I, known to us through an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi. The figures of the Graces are the work of Pilon, while the base was executed by Domenico del Barbiere. The urn for the heart of Henry II is a nineteenth-century restoration. ## Related artworks - [Cardinal René de Birague \(1506–83\)]() - [Caryatids]() - [Charles IX of France]() - [Diana with a Stag]() - [Diana with a Stag]() - [Effigies of Henri II and Catherine de' Medici \(detail\)]() - [Effigies of Henri II and Catherine de' Medici \(detail\)]() - [Effigies of Henri II and Catherine de' Medici]() - [Effigies of Henri II and Catherine de' Medici]() - [Effigies of Henri II and Catherine de' Medici]() - [Monument for the Heart of Henri II]() - [Monument to Henri II and Catherine de' Medici \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
