BRUNO, ST., HISTORY OF, Eustace Lesueur, Louvre, Paris; canvas, 22 pictures, each, H. 6 ft. 4 in. × 4 ft. 3 in. The principal events in the life of St. Bruno, founder of the Chartreuse, Paris, were painted in 1645-48 for the spaces between the pilasters in the little cloister of that monastery, to replace similar pictures upon canvas painted in 1508, which were almost destroyed by time, and which had been preceded by frescos painted in 1350. The designs (146) are also in the Louvre. In 1776 they were offered to Louis XVI. for 132,000 livres, the convent to receive copies; but the Order was suppressed soon after, and the pictures passed to the crown. After restorations they were placed in the Louvre in 1818.
