Summary[edit]

Description

Chartres (Eure-et-Loir) - Cathédrale Notre-Dame - Façade ouest - Portail royal - Tympan central

Le tympan central illustre le quatrième chapitre de l'Apocalypse. Le Christ est représenté en majesté trônant dans une mandorle et tenant le livre des sept sceaux de l'Apocalypse. Il est entouré du tétramorphe – quatre animaux ailés symboles des quatre évangélistes. Sur les voussures, une troupe céleste glorifie le Christ : des anges tenant des astrolabes et les 24 vieillards de l'Apocalypse tenant dans leurs mains des flacons de parfum et des instruments de musique. Au sommet, deux anges tiennent une couronne au-dessus de la tête du Christ. Sur le linteau, on peut voir les douze apôtres ainsi que deux personnages, peut-être les prophètes Élie et Hénoch.

Les statues-colonnes qui soutiennent le tympan représentent David, Salomon, la Reine de Saba – peut-être Isaïe ou Ézéchiel. Le décor qui enserre les statues représente les derniers feux du style roman : il se compose d'entrelacs, de colonnettes et de feuilles d'acanthe qui témoignent d'influences méridionales.
