Crucifixion 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 the Crucifixion, with contemporary portraits of Louise-Francoise de Rochechouart de Mortemart, 33rd abbess of Fontevraud (1704-1742), and Renee de Bourbon, abbess of Chelles. 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.
