WHAT IS THE GISANT?

ın sepulchral sculpture, an effigy representing the person in death; especially an effigy depicting the deceased in a state of advanced decomposition. It was popular in 15th- and 16th century northern Europe. The gisant was often placed below a portrait, or orant, which represented the person praying or kneeling, as in life. It was a reminder of the transitory nature of life.
