$a A title variant appears on the added engraved title-plate ('Frontispice'): 'Peintures de l'Eglise De St Savin'. Merimée begins with a Notice, in five sections: I. Description de l'église; II. Légende de Saint-Savin; III. Histoire de l'abbaye de Saint-Savin; IV. Disposition des peintures dans l'église; V. Observations sur les peintures de Saint-Savin. The plates with their 'Explication' describe the 11th-century Romanesque wall-paintings in the monastery church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe, in Poitou, Vienne, France. The paintings in the porch-tower depict the Revelation of John, the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, and local saints; those in the barrel-vaulted nave depict scenes from the books of Genesis and Exodus; those in the crypt below the apse, the lives of Saints Savinus and Cyprian; that on the east wall, Christ in majesty. All plates but one are printed in color by chromolithography. |
