EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the historical figure Abbot Suger (c 1081-1151) undertaking the ambitious reconstruction of the Abbey of St Denis. The artwork, created by a French School artist in the 19th century, depicts this pivotal moment in history with remarkable detail and vibrancy. Abbot Suger was not only a patron of art and architecture but also played a significant role in shaping Christian history during the Middle Ages. As illustrated in this print, he dedicated himself to restoring and expanding the magnificent Abbey of St Denis, which served as an architectural masterpiece and symbol of religious devotion. The illustration cleverly incorporates an advertisement for Chocolat Felix Potin into its composition. This unexpected juxtaposition highlights both the historical context and commercial interests surrounding Abbot Suger's reconstruction project. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grand endeavors like rebuilding an abbey, everyday life continues with its own indulgences such as chocolate. Through intricate architectural details and meticulous brushwork, this artwork transports us back to France during the 12th century. We can almost feel ourselves standing alongside Abbot Suger as he oversees construction plans for this Gothic marvel. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into medieval history while reminding us that even monumental undertakings are often intertwined with more mundane aspects of life.
