Left entrance, Collegiale Notre-Dame de Poissy

The left entrance door with angel musicians in the vaults and a sculpted tympanum representing the Annunciation, Collegiale Notre-Dame de Poissy, a catholic parish church founded c. 1016 by Robert the Pious and rebuilt 1130-60 in late Romanesque and early Gothic styles, Poissy, Yvelines, France. In the tympanum, heavenly rays reach three fleurs de lys in a vase, representing the Virgin, and the dove of the holy spirit flies along a ray. The wooden door was sculpted in 1540, and the whole entrance was restored 1999-2000. The Collegiate Church of Our Lady of Poissy was listed as a Historic Monument in 1840 and has been restored by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc. Picture by Manuel Cohen
