Entering by Learning: Portals at Saint‑Denis
Portal sculpture as catechism: thresholds that teach doctrine and guide entry at Saint‑Denis.

12 min read
Thresholds instruct. Saints and allegories frame entry, preparing hearts and minds. Portals make doctrine public.
🧠 Teaching Moments
- Virtues vs vices: Moral pairs near eye level.
- Narrative bands: Scenes stacked for reading.
- Gesture: Hands invite or warn.
| Theme | Panel Type | Cue |
|---|---|---|
| Judgment | Tympanum | Central scene |
| Saints | Jamb figures | Flank entry |
| Allegory | Archivolt | Circling texts |
Entry is education before it is movement.
