Archivolts, North portal, Basilique Saint-Denis
Figures on the archivolts of the North portal of the West facade, depicting the Martyrdom of St Denis, made 1135 and restored in 1839, at the Basilique Saint-Denis, Paris, France. Abbot Suger originally had a mosaic made on this tympanum, and was introducing a hagiography of St Denis with this imagery. The basilica is a large medieval 12th century Gothic abbey church and burial site of French kings from 10th - 18th centuries. Picture by Manuel Cohen
