The role of individual sculptors in creating the ambulatory capitals in the largest basilica in Christendom at Cluny remains a mystery. The unresolved issue of individual creativity leaves open three important questions about this powerful abbey which controlled hundreds of monasteries throughout Europe in the eleventh century : What was the specific artistic context - the origin, training and career path of the major sculptors who worked at the mother church at the start of construction ? What was the relationship, in time and influence, between the focal ambulatory capitals and similar sculptures at numerous local sites? And what role did artists play in determining the form and meaning of Cluny sculptures and related monuments?This book traces the career of a sculptor who worked on the earliest capitals in the abbey church at Cluny. It documents his artistic preferences at previous Burgundian projects, gathering a variety of evidence intended to be on the one hand precise, complex and subtle, and on the other convincingly repetitious. He treated gesture, pose, anatomy, drapery, foliage, architecture, background and space not only consistently but also in a complementary fashion. Plainly put, he blurred the traditional distinction between sculpture and architecture, displaying a rich and unique combination of artistic preferences even as he worked with different kinds of patrons on various subjects at numerous and diverse monuments. These findings are supported with high-resolution photographs taken at telling angles from high ladders and scaffolding. This version of the creative process at the mother church, in which the Cluniac brothers picked a local talent to carry out one of the most important sculptural commissions in Europe, differs markedly from the standard one based largely on presumed but undocumented artistic priorities of the monks. Prevailing theory assumes the monks had an international perspective when it came to art as they tried to establish at Cluny a new Rome as the centerpiece of their monastic empire. Rather than tap an experienced sculptor who worked in the indigenous masonry tradition, they would have looked toward foreign lands to find suitable artists who based their designs on high forms of art such as ivory, painting, and metalwork

Cluny, c'est à la fois une abbaye, l'une des plus somptueuses qui fut, avec la plus vaste église de la Chrétienté médiévale et un ordre monastique, l'ordre clunisien, d'un éclat et d'une puissance sans pareils. Moins de deux siècles après sa fondation en 909 ou 910, Cluny commande un réseau de plus d'un millier de prieurés disséminés dans toute l'Europe occidentale et fait de son abbé l'un des personnages les plus éminents de la Chrétienté. Mais tout médaille à son revers : le système clunisien tarde à se structurer. Concurrencé par de nouvelles formes de vie religieuse, en proie à des difficultés économiques, Cluny perd sa prééminence. Au XIIe siècle, renouant avec l'austérité bénédictine, l'ordre commence à décliner jusqu'à sa disparition dans la tourmente révolutionnaire. L'une des forces du présent livre est de rendre justice au Cluny d'après la période des grands fastes, longtemps négligé par les historiens. À cette année 2010 où l'on célèbre le 1100e anniversaire de la fondation de Cluny, il fallait un livre. Le voici, croisant les disciplines, histoire, littérature, histoire de l'art, architecture, mais aussi liturgie et spiritualité : c'est une formidable synthèse des travaux les plus récents sur ce monument incomparable de notre histoire nationale et européenne.

Ces Études clunisiennes regroupent sept articles relevant largement de ce que Georges Duby appelait l'histoire des systèmes de valeur. Par de multiples approches complémentaires, aussi diverses que le sont les sources clunisiennes elle mêmes présentées en introduction, il s'agit d'apprécier la place que des moines idéologues, qui sont en même temps de grands seigneurs, entendent occuper dans la société chrétienne, dont ils s'estiment les guides. En apparence éloignée des questions de la pratique, la démarche adoptée vise à faire toute sa place au sein de l'histoire de la société aux formations ecclésiastiques constitutives de l'aristocratie des temps féodaux. Le traitement historiographique des représentations que les Clunisiens des Xe-XIIe siècles ont voulu livrer d'eux-mêmes est prolongé jusqu'au tournant des années 1900 pour montrer quel enjeu de mémoire l'histoire de Cluny a pu constituer dans la reconstruction de la France catholique contemporaine.
