The capitals on the first level of the choir of Notre-Dame de Paris form a sculptural ensemble of exceptional richness, which is both highly coherent and remarkably diverse in form. Never before attempted on the scale of the entire choir, an in-depth analysis of the forms and motifs used in these c...

The very nature of the sculpted decoration and the varying quality of its execution allow us not only to identify the presence of a major artistic figure throughout the project, but also the existence of other contributors, and even several distinct teams in the case of the largest capitals, as well as instances of clear borrowing or inspiration between the various contributors.
