Tomb of De Merode's Family, Gheel

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large, ornate tomb in a church. The tomb is rectangular, with a black base and a white stone top. On top of the tomb lies a recumbent figure of a man in armor, with his hands clasped in prayer. The tomb has several coats of arms on the sides, and there are statues of people on each corner. A man in a dark robe kneels in front of the tomb, facing it. Behind the tomb are large stone columns and stained glass windows. The floor is checkered.
