About the piece
Painted in 1806 by François Fleury-Richard, this Troubadour-style work captures Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, in a moment of stoic dignity. The painting utilizes soft, atmospheric lighting to define the immense stone arches of the hall, creating a sense of solemnity and historical weight.
