Carême de Messire Jean-Louis de Fromentières, évêque d'Aire, et prédicateur ordinaire de sa Majesté

Fromentières, Jean-Louis de, 1632-1684 · 1699 · Paris : J. Couterot · 3 pictures

A Lenten sermon collection by Jean-Louis de Fromentières, bishop of Aire and preacher to the French king, printed in Paris by J. Couterot in 1699 for Catholic readers. The three woodcut tailpieces repeat one rectangular framed scene: a crucified Christ at centre beneath a radiating sunburst, a crowned figure above, and clouds with small winged angels filling the corners, showing how a compact, symmetrical devotional image can be built from clouds, rays and cherubs.
