New Publication ‘Les Saintes-Chapelles du XIIIe au XVIIIe siècle: Arts – Politique – Religion’, edited by Etienne Anheim and David Fiala

From the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, founded by Saint Louis in the mid-13th century and abolished in 1787, to the Sainte-Chapelles ranging from Bourges to Dijon or Chambéry, forming a network of sacredness for the princes of the House of France, this book traces the political, religious, and artistic history of a crucial imaginary institution for the Kingdom of France.
