 Louis IX of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis' patronage of the arts drove much innovation in Gothic art and architecture, and the style of his court radiated throughout Europe by both the purchase of art objects from Parisian masters for export and by the marriage of the king's many daughters to foreign husbands and their subsequent introduction of Parisian models elsewhere.
Saint Louis was a devout Christian, and he built the Sainte Chapelle ("Holy Chapel"), located within the royal palace complex (now the Paris Hall of Justice), on the Île de la Cité in the center of Paris.
The Sainte Chapelle, a perfect example of the Rayonnant style of Gothic architecture, was erected as a shrine for the Crown of Thorns and a fragment of the True Cross, precious relics of the Passion of Jesus.

 Lives of the Saints, August 19, Saint John Eudes, Saint Louis
Saint John Eudes, forerunner of devotion both to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, was born in 1601, some time after France had been torn apart by the revolt of the Huguenots.
Saint John Eudes left the Oratory, a Society of priests which he loved sincerely, like other founders who have been in a similar position, because he was called by God to break new ground in establishing a group of priests without religious vows, destined to occupy posts in the new seminaries of France.
Saint John Eudes, who died in 1680, was beatified in 1909 by Saint Pius X, and canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925.

 Donatello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The marble statues Donatello carved for the campanile are Abraham, wrought by the master in conjunction with Giovanni di Bartolo, Saint John the Baptist, Habakkuk (the statue is also called Zuccone, meaning Pumpkin, for its bald head), Jeremiah, and an unknown prophet who is supposed to bear the features of the humanist Poggio Bracciolirri.
During this period Donatello executed some work for the baptismal font at San Giovanni in Siena, which Jacopo della Quercia and his assistants had begun in 1416.
For example, his statue of Saint Mark was supposedly at first rejected as horrid and monstrous by its commissioners, the linen guild of Florence.

 NGA - Monumental Sculpture from Renaissance Florence
As Medicean power rose in the second half of the fifteenth century, the Guelph party's importance waned, and it was most probably Medici influence that, in 1462, persuaded the party to sell its prominent niche at Orsanmichele to the Mercanzia, a body that regulated the guilds and served as a merchants' court.
The Mercanzia seems not to have had an official patron saint, but the incredulity of Saint Thomas was a very appropriate subject for a merchants' court since, in the fifteenth century, it was typically associated with justice and, specifically, the truth sought by Thomas and the clemency of Jesus.
The Medici seem to have been particularly fond of Saint Thomas; since both Piero de' Medici and, later, his son Lorenzo were on the committee in charge of the commission, their influence was probably also at work.

 Annual Bulletin 5, Ugolino di Nerio: Saint Anne and the Virgin by Laurence B. Kanter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The conclusion seems inescapable that the Lehman Saint Matthew and the Ottawa Saint Anne once formed part of the same altarpiece, and that this altarpiece was painted sometime after the pentaptych at Brolio in Chianti and before the three panels at San Casciano.
Two of his very earliest altarpieces include representations of Saint Louis of Toulouse, and for that reason must have been painted after 1317, when the saint was canonized.
The other survives incomplete, but the panel of Saint Louis of Toulouse from it, now in the California Palace of the Legion of Honor at San Francisco, (34) is almost certainly earlier than its counterpart in the Clark polyptych.

 Musée des Augustins - Collections - Sculptures - Gothic sculpture - Chapelle de Rieux
Founded by Jean Tissandier, bishop of Rieux-Volvestre (south of Toulouse) from 1324 to 1348, the chapel was built to the east of the large church of the Cordeliers convent to which it is joined.
A spiritual centre for a college, which never saw the light of day, and the sacred home to the sepulture of Jean Tissandier himself and his Franciscan brothers, this chapel was destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century.
This ensemble of sculptures testifies to the great vitality and diversity of artistic creation at this epoch in Toulouse - we may wonder what there is in common between the gentle and serene Virgin of Rieux and the tormented figure of Saint Paul.
