Clermont-en-Argonne - Saint-Didier

Clermont-en-Argonne - Saint-Didier
Saint-Didier was built in the 16th century in a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance style. It burned down during the Great War after set on fire by German soldiers. Repair and rebuilding started in 1919.

This "Mise au tombeau" has actually six statues, as it is flanked by two very baroque wooden angels. It was located in a chapel of the Château de Clermont

At least the lady in the centre is attributed to Ligier Richier while the other two may have been created by another studio. The statue of Christ was probably carved prior 16th century.
