Estatua columnar de un rey

ca. 1150–60
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304
Esta figura de un rey no identificado es la única estatua completa que sobrevivió la destrucción del claustro de la abadía real de Saint–Denis. El halo indica que es un santo. Bajo el enérgico abad Suger, la abadía, mausoleo de los reyes franceses, fue reconstruida (1122–1151) en el estilo que en la Edad Media se denominaba francés y que luego se conoció como gótico. La integración de una figura de pie en una columna cilíndrica es una de las características distintivas del nuevo estilo gótico.
