Musée Rolin in Autun

The Musée Rolin, in the 15th C Hôtel Rolin, was built by Chancellor Nicholas Rolin, an important Burgundian administrator and famous art patron. The museum is noteworthy for its early Flemish paintings and sculpture, including the magisterial Nativity painted by the Maître de Moulins in the 15th century. But the collection's star is a Gislebertus masterpiece, the Temptation of Eve, which originally topped one of the side doors of the cathedral. Try to imagine the missing elements of the scene: Adam on the left and the devil on the right.
