Abbot Suger at the feet of the Virgin, Annunciation panel, Saint-Denis, c. 1140–1144
The Annunciation from the Infancy of Christ window in the ambulatory chapels of Saint-Denis, with Abbot Suger himself kneeling below the Virgin and named in the glass: SUGERIUS AB[BAS].
The patron in his own window. Suger had himself put into the glass of the choir he built, at the feet of the Virgin and with his name beside him — the clearest picture there is of the man and the light-filled church this dossier is about.
