These five extraordinary Medallions were painted by Hippolyte Flandrin, a student and acolyte of Ingres.  The Medallions stand at the center of a choir once known as ‘The Apostles’ Choir’.   Following the completion of these Medallions in 1848, the choir took on the name it is known by today: ‘The Monks’ Choir’.

​

The four evangelists of the New Testament – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – are symbolized by ancient iconographs, these being The Angel, The Lion, the Bull, and the Eagle.  In the very center is a fifth medallion which is the Lamb of God representing the Holy Mysteries.
