Description

Amiens Cathedral is the largest cathedral in France and, with the exception of Beauvais, the highest. It was built exceptionally quickly ; the fabric was completed in a mere 70 years, from 1220 to 1290. This masterpiece of Gothic art, skilfully mastered architectonic techniques - the systematic use of flying buttresses and tripartite elevation - culminates in the achievement of an accomplished style, particularly in its portal statuary. Situated in the heart of a city which was plagued by bombardments in 1940, the cathedral, nevertheless, managed to maintain a great deal of its ancient environment : to the north, the episcopal palace, and the 18^th-century canonical area to the south. Not only has the cathedral preserved some of the major pieces of 13^th and 14^th-century stained-glass, but it managed to majestically combine its decor with its furnishings. These date from the 16^th-century (choir screen) to the 19^th-century (decoration of the apse chapels by Viollet-le-Duc).

Thus, while touring the cathedral, the visitor encounters a veritable decorative anthology.
