Christian Fages, the author of the web-site on which the image is posted, identifies it as being from the “Basilica of Châlons-en-Champagne.” However, it is unclear to me whether this means the basilique Notre-Dame de l'Épine, situated in the little village of L'Épine, in the Marne, near Châlons-en-Champagne, or else the cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Châlons situated in Châlons-en-Champagne and dedicated to Saint Étienne. I’m also curious as to the date of the work. Mr. Fages has yet to respond to my queries.
I’d be grateful to anyone in the Group would could provide more facts or commentary about this image.
