# Tomb of Charles de Maigny [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BONTEMPS, Pierre]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary In 1557, Bontemps was commissioned by the deceased's sister, Martienne de Maigny, to execute the tomb of Charles de Maigny, captain of the King's Gate guards. He is represented seated, in full armour, holding a pike, but sleeping the sleep of the just. The monument is principally remarkable for its decorative charm, as displayed in the rendering of the armour and the stool on which Maigny sits. ## Related artworks - [Monument for the Heart of Francis I \(detail\)]() - [Monument for the Heart of Francis I]() - [Monument for the Heart of Francis I]() - [Monument for the Heart of Francis I]() - [Tomb of Francis I and Claude de France \(detail\)]() - [Tomb of Francis I and Claude de France]() - [Tomb of Francis I and Claude de France]() - [Tomb of Jean d'Humières]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
