medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Brenda,

"The Caption reads: "A crusader's return, after 16 years of absence, is
commemorated by this statue of the Count of Vaudemont and his wife Anne of
Lorraine. Though her husband had been given up as dead, Anne refused to
abandon hope."
The Picture credit (page 187) gives
Chapter 3: 52 Stone tomb sculpture, from north-eastern France, ca. 1163,
Chapel of the Greyfriars Monastery, Nancy (Robert Mottar)."
I haven't read the book or seen the picture, but I think that perhaps in
order to get deeper you should find out the 'original' place where the
sculpture was put. As far as I know there's no way that ca 1163 it could
have been put in place belonging to the Greyfriars, as they didn't exist at
the time, as you know.
What I've found about the Chapelle des Cordeliers is that it was founded in
1487 by René II.
So, either the monastery belonged to a different order and may have had a
different name under which you may find something else, or the sculpture was
moved from the original place to this one.
Just a thought.
Best,
Christina
