gisant
A ''gisant'' (French, “recumbent”) is a recumbent effigy on a tomb depicting a prominent deceased person in the process of dying or as a corpse.〔Lucie-Smith, Edward (1984), ''The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Art Terms'', Thames and Hudson, pg 89.〕 Such compositions, developed in western Europe in late medieval, Renaissance, and early moderns times, may represent the deceased in a state of “eternal repose”, hands folded in prayer and awaiting resurrection. A husband and wife may be depicted together. An important official or leader may be shown holding his attributes of office or dressed in the formal attire of his official status or social class.
Some of the best-known examples of the form are in Westminster Abbey in London, Saint Peter's in Rome, Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice (twenty-five Doges), and the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence.
