RELIGIOUS STUFF

I'm not into this stuff, as you probably know, but there are some good bits. Recently in Tonnerre we went to the Hôtel Dieu. A 10th century institution looking after the ill and poor. Lots of stuff, however, there is an amazing sculpture of The Entombment of Christ. Not my core subject but the sculpture was good, very, very good. One of the oldest and well preserved representations of this genre,1454 Burgundy art.


Part only of 'La mise au tombeau'.

So when you've finished with the serious stuff there is always the new board game. Those Internet and video games will never have the longevity of 'Récréation Spirituelle'.


Récréation Spirituelle.

Was it ever a best seller? Did it end up sending you to hell if you committed a mortal or even a venial sin?
