Entombment
by RICHIER, Ligier, Marble
Saint-Mihiel in northeastern France lies on the right bank of the Meuse River, 35 km south-southeast of Verdun. The town grew around a Benedictine abbey, founded in 709. The churches of Saint-Michel and Saint-�tienne have works by the 16th-century sculptor Ligier Richier, who was a native of the town.
