Heating vent, Salle des Povres, Hospices de Beaune, Beaune, Burgundy, France
Heating vent, designed 1876 by Maurice Ourdou in the Chapel and Salle des Povres or Room of the Poor of Les Hospices de Beaune, or Hotel-Dieu de Beaune, a charitable almshouse and hospital for the poor, built 1443-57 by Flemish architect Jacques Wiscrer, and founded by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins, in Beaune, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France. The vents are based on details from throughout the building, with concentric circles, Christ's monogram IHS, the motto Seule and a star, and frieze copied from the vault. The hospital was run by the nuns of the order of Les Soeurs Hospitalieres de Beaune, and remained a hospital until the 1970s. The building now houses the Musee de l'Histoire de la Medecine, or Museum of the History of Medicine, and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
