Roof detail, Salle des Povres, Hospices de Beaune, Beaune, Burgundy, France
Carved and painted fire-breathing monstrous head resembling a wolf supporting a cross beam, architectural detail of the painted wooden ceiling in the shape of a boat's hull, in the Salle des Povres or Room of the Poor, almost 50m long, in 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 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
