Decoration of the vault

by FRÉMINET, Martin, Fresco

King Henry IV commissioned Fr�minet to execute the decorations for the chapel of the Trinity at the château of Fontainebleau, following an iconography inspired by the Jesuit Louis Riche�me (1544–1625). From 1606 Fr�minet painted the vault and the piers and supplied designs for the stuccoes executed by Barth�lemy Tremblay, as well as for the high altar. Fourteen oval paintings representing scenes from the Life of Christ occupied the spaces between the windows. He died before completing work at the chapel.
