Portale

ca. 1250
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 01
I primi re cristiani della Francia, Clodoveo I e il figlio Clotario I, celebri fondatori dell’abbazia di Moutiers-Saint-Jean, sono ritti ai due lati del portale e reggono tra le mani gli statuti della fondazione. Nelle nicchie a lato sono raffigurati personaggi biblici che si credeva avessero preannunciato la crocifissione di Gesù. Nel timpano sovrastante Cristo incorona la Vergine come Regina del Paradiso. Il portale probabilmente proviene dal corridoio settentrionale del chiostro e fungeva da ingresso dell’abbazia. Nel XVI secolo durante le Guerre di Religione venne seriamente danneggiato; le teste dei due re furono forse restaurate nel XVII secolo.
