Eleonore de Bourbon fresco, Chapter House, Fontevraud Abbey, Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Loire Valley, Maine-et-Loire, France. The Chapter House was built in the 16th century and its walls were painted in 1563 with frescoes of scenes from Christ's Passion by the Anjou artist Thomas Pot. Here we see a detail from the Last Supper fresco added at a later date showing a portrait of Eleonore de Bourbon, 29th Abbess of Fontevraud (1575-1611) and aunt of King Henry IV of France, with her dog. The abbey itself was founded in 1100 by Robert of Arbrissel, who created the Order of Fontevraud. It was a double monastery for monks and nuns, run by an abbess.
