St Mamas preaching the gospel to the wild animals, tapestry, 1545, after a cartoon by Jean Cousin, in the north transept of the Cathedrale Saint-Mammes de Langres, or Langres Cathedral, built 1150-96 in Romanesque and Gothic styles, in Langres, Haute-Marne, France. The tapestry depicts the saint reading the gospels aloud to wild beasts, collecting the milk of the female animals to make cheese, and distributing the cheese in the town, where he is captured. It was commissioned by Claude de Longwy, bishop of Langres 1529-61, and made in Paris by Pierre Blace and Jacques Langlois. The tapestry and the cathedral are listed as historic monuments.
