Abstract
During the 1930s, several Russian émigré writers visited Alsace. Among them were Elisabeth Skobtsoff, Georges Fedotov and Wladimir Weidlé. The first left a moving picture of the life of the Russian colony in Strasbourg. She also commented on the city's cathedral, using its gothic symbols as motives for a play she wrote on World War II. The other two extensively commented on Mathias GrUnewald's triptych, a major painting from the Renaissance representing Christ's crucifixion. The painting helped them elaborate some of their most profound thoughts on art, as well as on the contemporary history of the Western world, and the fate of living in exile.
