拍品專文

According to Christian tradition, St Bénézet was a shepherd boy who saw a vision during an eclipse in 1177 which told him to build a bridge over the Rhône at Avignon. It was constructed between 1177 and 1185 but now only part of it still stands. The building in the background, now called the Chapel of St Nicholas, is where the body of St Bénézet was first interred before being moved to the Hôpital du Pont (also called the Hôpital St Bénézet).
