view of church interior - retable

Scene Description: Source caption: "Retable de Saint-Nicolas, du XIVe siècle, probablement incomplet." -- Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM60001457: "Le retable illustre des scènes de la vie de saint Nicolas et de la Passion du Christ (Christ en croix entre la Vierge et saint Nicolas). De gauche à droite : - Le boucher s'apprête à égoger les trois enfants endormis -Le saint en costume d'évêque ressuscite les enfants dans le saloir, - Christ en croix entre la Vierge et saint Jean, - Saint Nicolas passe une bourse par la fenêtre. [...] Lors de son classement, l'oeuvre a été datée du 15e siècle, mais les drapés fluides, les silhouettes des figures autorisent à la dater du 14e siècle. C'est une sculpture de belle qualité. Le retable ne semble pas complet. [...] Presque tous les visages ont été bûchés. Restauration par Geneviève Rager (Paris) et l'entreprise Charpentier PM (Paris) en 1994."
