Notre-Dame d'Amiens montre une grande unité stylistique, ayant été reconstruite pour l'essentiel entre 1220 et 1270. "L'église gothique par excellence", selon Eugène Viollet-le-Duc qui a contribué à sa restauration au XIXe siècle, Notre-Dame d'Amiens est la plus vaste des cathédrales françaises par la surface ; son plan à cinq nefs et chapelles rayonnantes déterminera celui des cathédrales d'Orléans, de Tours, de Cologne... La statuaire des portails du XIIIe siècle est d'une grande richesse ; elle se place historiquement entre celles de Chartres et de Reims et a de même connu un large rayonnement dans l'Europe entière. Le grand portail de la façade occidentale, dont la figure du Christ, dite du "Beau Dieu", a retrouvé récemment une partie de sa polychromie d'origine grâce à une campagne de nettoyage à l'aide du procédé de désincrustation par laser. À l'intérieur de Notre-Dame d'Amiens, on peut admirer une importante collection de monuments funéraires du XIIe au XVIIIe siècle, un tour du chœur sculpté polychrome des XVe et XVIe siècles, un exceptionnel ensemble de stalles du XVe siècle et d'impressionnants ouvrages décoratifs du XVIIIe siècle. Notre-Dame d'Amiens reste bien l'un des plus beaux exemples d'art sacré gothique, inscrit par l'Unesco au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité.

In this groundbreaking work, Stephen Murray seizes a rare opportunity to explore the relationship between verbal and visual culture by presenting a sermon that may have been preached during the second half of the thirteenth century in or near the cathedral of Notre-Dame of Amiens, whose sculptural program was completed at about the same time. In addition to providing a complete transcription and translation of the text, Murray examines the historical context of the sermon and draws comparisons between its underlying structure and the Gothic portals of the cathedral. In the sermon, as in the cathedral, he finds a powerful motivational mechanism that invites the repentant sinner to enter into a new contract with the Virgin Mary. The correlation between elements of the sermon's text and the sculptural components of the cathedral leads to an exploration of the socioeconomic conditions in Picardy at the time and a vivid sketch of how the cathedral and its images were used by ordinary people. The author finds parallels in the rhetorical tools used in the sermon, on the one hand, and stylistic and compositional tools used in the sculpture, on the other. In addition to providing a fascinating and cogent consideration of medieval beliefs about salvation and redemption, this book also lays the groundwork for a long overdue examination of the performative and textual in relationship to sculpture.
