Télamon à effigie de roi

ca. 1150–60
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304
Cette représentation d’un roi non identifié est la seule statue complète qui subsiste du cloître maintenant détruit de l’abbaye royale de Saint-Denis. L’auréole révèle que le roi est un saint. Sous la gouverne de l’énergique abbé Suger, la nécropole des rois de France fut reconstruite (1122–1151) dans ce que l’on appelait au Moyen Âge le style français, devenu le gothique. L’intégration d’un personnage debout à une colonne cylindrique est l’un des traits caractéristiques du gothique naissant.
