The Tomb of Philibert le Beau of Savoy, crafted by the renowned German sculptor Conrad Meit, stands as a significant masterpiece of Renaissance funerary art. Commissioned by Margaret of Austria, the regent of the Netherlands and widow of Philibert II, Duke of Savoy, the tomb was intended to honor her late husband, who passed away in 1504. The tomb is located in the Royal Monastery of Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse, France, a site chosen by Margaret herself, who was deeply involved in its design and construction.

Conrad Meit, a prominent sculptor of the early 16th century, was known for his exceptional skill in rendering lifelike figures and intricate details. His work on the tomb exemplifies his mastery of the Renaissance style, characterized by a blend of Gothic and classical elements. The tomb features an effigy of Philibert II, depicted in a serene repose, dressed in full armor, and surrounded by a richly adorned architectural framework. The effigy is notable for its realistic portrayal, capturing the duke's likeness with remarkable precision.

The tomb is adorned with a series of elaborate reliefs and sculptures that reflect both religious and secular themes. These include scenes from the life of Christ, allegorical figures, and heraldic symbols that emphasize the duke's noble lineage and his piety. The intricate carvings and the use of high-quality materials, such as alabaster and marble, contribute to the tomb's grandeur and its status as a significant example of Renaissance art in Northern Europe.

Margaret of Austria's patronage played a crucial role in the creation of the tomb, as she sought to memorialize her husband and assert her own political and cultural influence. The tomb not only serves as a testament to Philibert II's legacy but also highlights Margaret's dedication to the arts and her impact on the cultural landscape of her time. Today, the Tomb of Philibert le Beau of Savoy remains a focal point of the Royal Monastery of Brou, attracting scholars and visitors alike who are drawn to its historical and artistic significance.
