Chapel of St. Louis IX King of France
On the altar is a beautiful tabernacle of gilded bronze statues depicting the Four Evangelists. This work by Jacob Cobaert, was ordered by Cardinal Matthew Chanterelle, probably to compensate for the rejected statue of St. Matthew that he completed for the Contarelli Chapel that was rejected.
