Michel Colombe

Michel Colombe (c. 1430 – c. 1513) was a French sculptor whose work bridged the late Gothic and Renaissance styles.

He created the gisant figures of the two deceased children of Charles VIII of France on their monument (1506) in Tours Cathedral.

The Francis II monument was designed by Jean Perréal; it was disassembled and buried for safekeeping during the French Revolution.

A bas-relief commissioned in 1508 by Georges d'Amboise for the Château de Gaillon is conserved in the Musée du Louvre.

His brother Jean Colombe was an important miniature painter and illuminator who worked on the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry.
