The Basilica of Saint-Denis is a stunning legacy to the Gothic tradition. A colloquium held in Paris in 2000 brought together a group of art historians to discuss the emergence of Gothic art, architectural style, sculpture, stained glass and ecclesiastical furnishings, using Saint-Denis as a case study. The close collaboration between Abbot Suger and his master of works is argued to be responsible for the unity of the building and its architectural success. French text.
