These draft studies have been written as if all carvings were by an individual whereas they can equally be analysed as template modes employed by a number of carvers. The more personal approach was necessitated by the complexity of the data. The drafts will be reconsidered after I have added the rib vault material to the database. |
Capitals for Saint-Loup-de-Naud, Saint-Loup-de-Sens
X
The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history,
using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications.
The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis.
I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements.
A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign.
One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.
Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade.
While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time.
This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated.
Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

Phase 5 - 1120s [1123] - portal
portal capitals, figures, tympanum and archivolts
Rationale for dating : analysed in "The Ark" 5:1394; imposts discussed in #29:23-; sculpture discussed in MCS #02, #04 and in Victoire #15.The sculpture is locked into the stonework of the nave and the capitals were all done together, though by different teams. this the nave capitals help to date those in the portal. Very hard to see these being carved much after 1120. Individually we could place as a throw-back design from later, but taken as a group this is close to a date that works for all of them.
