Funded Activity Summary

To establish a chronology for Early Gothic 1100-1170 in the Paris Basin. The aim is to identify, from every example of a single repeatable type of decoration - foliage - the more innovative carvers of northern France between 1100 and 1170, and by analysing the evolution of each man's personal style, to date the key buildings. This will provide a coherent foundation for a much-needed chronology of Early Gothic. Current dating is far from uniform, being individual reflections on style not based on any common theme, and often with strong nationalistic overtones. Lacking a firm chronology, histories are inconsistent and contradictory. The outcome of this study should resolve this impasse.
