Description

Founded by Francis of Paola (1416-1507) in 1494 with funding from the crown of France, the "royal convent of the Trinity of the Mounts" experienced a splendid period between the 16th and 17th centuries, the memory of which remains in its decorative guise: the frescoes in the cloister, with a didactic cycle dedicated to the life of the founding saint and a gallery of portraits of the kings of France; the cryptic anamorphoses by Emmanuel Maignan and François Nicéron; the catoptric sundial by Maignan; the scenographic Wedding at Cana painted in the refectory with admirable illusionistic devices by the Jesuit Andrea Pozzo.
