Triptychs of "Notre Dame de l'Assomption" Church

This work of the 16th century is one of the jewels of the religious heritage isérois. Long attributed to a student of Dürer, this work of the Renaissance, classified as a historical monument, delivers a masterful interpretation of the crucifixion: the two movable sides represent the ascent of Christ at the calvary and the descent from the cross, The central panel unfolds the lamentation while the reverse offers the enigmatic vision of a reclining draped in his shroud. The exceptional character of this work in the regional artistic landscape, its unusual dimensions and the passionate interest it has aroused surround the mystery painting.
The triptych of the XXI century by the painter Arcabas is another remarkable work, commissioned by the City. "Visit of the Magi of the East" recalls the story of the adoration of the Magi in a lush symphony of colors that celebrates the joy of birth.
At the inauguration in 2001, Arcabas, great master of contemporary sacred art, addressed his late colleague: "450 years separate these two works but there is no chasm between them because art is immutable!"
