Baldaquino da Sainte-Chapelle

A imagem apresenta um detalhe do interior da Sainte-Chapelle, em Paris, um magnífico exemplo do estilo gótico radiante. A capela superior, construída no século XIII por ordem de Luís IX para albergar relíquias sagradas da Paixão de Cristo – incluindo a Coroa de Espinhos –, destaca-se pela sua estrutura gótica, com uma abóbada estrelada em tons de azul e dourado que simboliza o céu. Os seus imponentes vitrais, que ocupam quase toda a superfície das paredes, narram a história bíblica em mais de 1113 cenas distribuídas por 15 painéis, criando um efeito luminoso de grande espiritualidade e majestade. No centro, sobressai um baldaquino, elemento arquitetónico crucial. Construído na década de 1260 e restaurado no século XIX (após a sua destruição durante a Revolução Francesa), este baldaquino, de estilo gótico igualmente esguio e elevado, servia de suporte para a Arca das Relíquias. Esta arca, que continha as relíquias sagradas – originalmente feita de prata e cobre dourado, mas também destruída durante a Revolução Francesa – era protegida e realçada pelo baldaquino, funcionando como um dossel cerimonial que conferia maior importância visual e simbólica às relíquias. A sua decoração, com elementos esculpidos como anjos e motivos florais, e o teto decorado com motivos estrelados, completam a riqueza estética da capela, contribuindo para a ligação entre o terrestre e o divino, e reforçando a função da monarquia francesa como protetora da fé. A Arca das Relíquias permaneceu na Sainte-Chapelle até à Revolução Francesa, altura em que as relíquias foram transferidas para Notre-Dame. Apesar da perda da sua função original, o baldaquino mantém-se como testemunho da importância religiosa e política das relíquias na Idade Média, funcionando como elemento focal da liturgia e um dos pontos mais importantes da composição estética e litúrgica da capela, concebida como um imenso relicário arquitetónico.

St Louis building the Sainte Chapelle by Lawrence OP

St Louis building the Sainte Chapelle

"I think more of the place where I was baptized than of Rheims Cathedral where I was crowned. It is a greater thing to be a child of God than to be the ruler of a Kingdom. This last I shall lose at death but the other will be my passport to an everlasting glory."
– St Louis of France.
