Jacques de Molay, grand maître des Templiers by Fleury-François Richard is a 1806 oil by François Fleury-Richard, a Neoclassicism work, held at Musée national de Malmaison et Bois-Préau.
The painting depicts a man in a white robe with a red cross on his chest, standing in the center of a room. He has his arms outstretched and is looking up towards the ceiling. To his right, another man in a gray robe is seated on a chair, looking up at the first man. On the left side of the room, a man in armor is holding a spear and looking at the first man. The room has a high ceiling with arches and columns, and the floor is made of stone tiles. The walls are painted white, and there is a large window on the back wall that lets in natural light. The painting is a dramatic depiction of a scene, with the use of chiaroscuro creating a sense of depth and emotion. You might want to look up the artist François Fleury-Richard next.
