Portail

ca. 1250
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 01
De chaque côté du portail, Clovis Ier et son fils Clotaire Ier, premiers rois chrétiens de France et fondateurs légendaires de l’abbaye de Moutiers-Saint-Jean, tiennent à la main leurs chartes de fondation. Les personnages bibliques qui occupent les niches extérieures semblent annoncer la Crucifixion de Jésus. Dans le tympan, au-dessus, le Christ couronne la Vierge, la proclamant reine des cieux. Le portail, qui est probablement celui de l’aile nord du cloître, devait conduire à l’église abbatiale. Il fut lourdement endommagé pendant les guerres de religion du XVIe siècle. Les têtes des deux rois ont probablement été réparées au XVIIe siècle.
