| Popis: | The church of Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes and its sculpted decoration. The church of Saint-Thibault is little known, and deserves better recognition in the historical context of the building and decoration of romanesque churches in the Ile-de-France region. Its construction dates back to the pilgrimages which began after the return of the relics of Saint Thibault, a saint born at Provins around 1030, who died in Italy in 1066 and was canonized by Pope Alexander II. The church underwent several modifications between the late eleventh century and the Revolution. The initial construction was apparently the result of a single building campaign ; this is confirmed by the decoration of the capitals of the columns. Two of them are sculpted with geometrical motifs whilst a second group, in the nave, has embellished storied representations or plant motifs. A third group in the apse has capitals which are exclusively carved with plant motifs. The main interest of these capitals lies in the sculpted representations of biblical scenes. Some of these, for example the resurrection of Lazarus, have been mutilated and require better identification. There were probably two sculptors, perhaps three. A comparison with the storied capitals of Sainte-Geneviève in Paris is revealing. Despite the slightness of the affinities, the author of this article believes that the sculptor of the main group of storied capitals at Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes could well be the sculptor of the four capitals of Sainte-Geneviève, held today by the Cluny Museum in Paris and probably dating from the late eleventh or early twelfth century.
