Review of Art No. 228/2025-2

This issue of *Revue de l'Art* (No. 228, 2025-2) presents a series of scholarly articles focused on the art and architecture of Notre-Dame de Paris. Iliana Kasarska examines the portal of the priory church of Longpont-sur-Orge as evidence of the influence of Notre-Dame's sculpture. Élisabeth Pillet discusses Viollet-le-Duc's approach to the cathedral's stained glass, balancing creation and archaeological restitution. Marie Savoldelli explores Jacques Le Chevallier's 20th-century stained-glass windows (1952–1967), while Dany Sandron traces the use of prestigious models from Jerusalem to Rome in the late 12th-century exaltation of the cross symbol at Notre-Dame. Denis Hayot analyzes the sculpted capitals of the choir as markers of the construction campaign's progress.

This collection matters because it deepens scholarly understanding of Notre-Dame de Paris, a monument of global cultural significance, especially in the context of its ongoing restoration after the 2019 fire. By examining sculpture, stained glass, and architectural details, the articles contribute to the historical and artistic knowledge necessary for informed conservation and reconstruction. The issue also highlights the continued relevance of medieval and 19th-century art historical research in shaping contemporary approaches to heritage preservation.
