Säulenstatue eines Königs

ca. 1150–60
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304
Diese Figur eines unbekannten Königs ist die einzige komplett erhaltene Statue aus dem inzwischen zerstörten Kloster der königlichen Abtei von Saint-Denis. Der Heiligenschein zeichnet diesen König als Heiligen aus. Unter dem energievollen Abt Suger wurde die Abtei, die Begräbnisstätte der französischen Könige, im gotischen Stil neu aufgebaut (1122 – 1151). Zu diesem neuen Stil gehörten in zylindrische Säulen eingearbeitete stehende Figuren.
