This large triptych in solid wood, with its majestic presence and deep spiritual symbolism, is an exceptional piece of piety and religious art. It comes from the Cistercian abbey of Bonnefontaine, nestled in the Ardennes, where it once adorned the monastic dining hall.

When closed, the triptych reveals a delicate representation of two vases from which flowers and foliage rise, evoking the Tree of Jesse, this mystical genealogy of the Virgin Mary and Christ, a symbol of hope and fulfillment.
Once open, it unveils a central image dedicated to the Virgin Mary, in a sober and contemplative setting.

Each panel, finely carved from solid wood, testifies to 19th-century craftsmanship where faith combined with art in a quest for silent and sacred beauty.
