Catalogue Note
La scène de notre tableau se situe devant la Basilique Saint Nicolas de Port, près de Nancy. Cette gigantesque basilique de style gothique flamboyant a été érigée aux XVème et XVIème siècles par René II, duc de Lorraine et duc de Bar à la suite de sa victoire sur Charles le Téméraire, lors de la bataille de Nancy le 5 janvier 1477, qui a permis à la Lorraine de rester indépendante. Elle se situe à Saint-Nicolas-de-Port en Meurthe-et-Moselle (Lorraine).
Fortement déteriorée lors de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale par les bombardements de 1940, elle fut restaurée dès 1985 grâce au legs d'une riche Portoise mariée à un Américain: Camille Croué Friedman. La restauration prit quinze années pour redonner à l'édifice sa splendeur initiale.
