Introduction to the Cathedral

The Cathedral of St Denis had a collection of many objects that could be identified as objects or treasures throughout the middle ages and obviously all pieces of art contain some sort of meaning from their creator, regardless of whether that meaning is incredibly simple or overly convoluted relies on the artist themselves as wellas the person interpreting it. I would consider many of the treasures of St. Denis to be art, but what kind of meaning is held by the different treasurues that you can find there. An important patron of treasures in St Denis would have to be Abbot Suger, who rebuilt large portions of the cathedral itself, as well as spending money to make the artifacts within more beautiful and to maintain them.
