Notre-Dame Cathedral, Chartres – formal analysisPlease read the introductory essay on Notre-Dame Cathedral, Chartres here: https://smarthistory.org/gothic-architecture-an-introduction/ (Links to an external site.)then watch the video on Notre-Dame Cathedral, Chartres here: https://smarthistory.org/cathedral-of-notre-dame-de-chartres-part-1-of-3/ (Links to an external site.)After watching the video, prepare a short formal analysis on Chartres’ design: (Design elements to consider: the exterior features and sculptural ornament – especially around the portals, the interior nave elevation, and stained glass – especially the rose windows.Formal analysis should consider the connections between form, (style or what a work looks like), theme/function, (a work’s subject or purpose) and context (the historical and cultural influences that shape meaning). Specific considerations should include but are not limited to: artist, patron, original location of work, medium, style, technique, thematic concerns (subject), function/purpose, and historical and cultural context. A short formal analysis exercise such as this is not comprehensive – it can’t cover everything there is to know about a work of art – instead – you should select formal evidence that will support your thesis – what is the main idea you want your reader to take away from your analysis?While students are encouraged to use source material to support their formal analysis – quoted material should be the “spices” not the main dish.

What are the structural hallmarks of the Gothic style?2.. Where does the Gothic style first emerge in France in the 1140’s? Who is Abbé Suger and what role does he play in the development of the new Gothic style?3. What is Scholasticism and how does this influence Abbé Suger? What particular formal qualities does he hope to incorporate into his newly renovated Abbey Church?4. Why is Chartres Cathedral such an important example of the evolution of the Gothic style? What evidence do we have of how the Gothic style changed here? For example, look at the Royal portal sculptures at Chartres, how do the figures in Prophets and Ancestors of Christ compare to the sculptures outside of the South transept, in particular, St. Theodore? What has changed?5. Given that Chartres Cathedral is officially known as the Cathedral of Nôtre Dame, (Our Lady), Chartres – what can we assume about the iconography here? What does it mean that the iconography is concerned with Christ and his ancestry? What evidence do we have of this?
