SAINTE CHAPELLE & CONCIERGERIE Photo Gallery by Fred Relaix at pbase.com

SAINTE CHAPELLE & CONCIERGERIE

Sainte-Chapelle was built during the second half of 13th Century by Louis IX, the future Saint Louis, to house the relics of the Passion of Christ. Adorned with a unique collection of fifteen glass panels and a large rose window forming a veritable wall of light, Sainte-Chapelle is a gem of French gothic architecture. As well as its sumptuous windows, Sainte-Chapelle was decorated with wall paintings, which were faithfully restored in 19th Century, and carvings of a remarkable finesse and variety. The splendour of its architecture and décor and the ceremony attached to the worship of its relics had a marked influence on all artistic and liturgical creativity until the 16th Century.

I've never failed to be amazed at how mankind can be capable of such awful destruction, yet at the same time be capable of creating something so hauntingly beautiful. You've done a great job Fred documenting the latter. -V-
