Scene Description: Source caption: "Saint-Amand-Montrond Église paroissiale de St Armand, is of a benedictine plan. The east end has three apses with blind galleries dating from the 12th century. The transept supports a belltower restored in the 19th century. The arches 'arcs brisés' of the nave and choir have capitals showing byzantine influence. The nave is flanked by 15th century private chapels- the chapel of St Anne which was sponsored by Philippe de Culant and his wife Anne de Beaujeu Lignières is in the flamboyant Gothic style. The west end portal shows the arabo-espagnol polylobe arches associate with the pilgrimage to Compostella."
