点评:Saint-George is a must-see for lovers of Norman architecture.
Completed around 1130, it is one of the best-preserved examples of its time. In the 13th century the original timber roof was replaced with a Gothic vault and the tower tops of the west façade were added. However, the interior is otherwise pristine Romanesque.
The foliated capitals are of particular historical significance for being new to the region. Scholars have identified many of the plants. Moreover, the construction site is deliberately oriented to the summer solstice sunrise in the east end and many capitals dedicated to saints positioned for sunlight on the saint’s day. It truly is a treasure.
Note that many art history texts refer to these churches by the name of their village, in this case Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville.
A bonus to any visit is the garden, restored along formal French lines in the park surrounding the abbey. For many it will itself be worth the journey.
翻译:圣乔治教堂是诺曼建筑爱好者的必看景点。
教堂于 1130 年左右完工,是当时保存最完好的建筑之一。13 世纪,教堂原有的木质屋顶被哥特式穹顶取代,西立面的塔顶也进行了加建。但教堂内部仍保留着原始的罗马式风格。
叶状柱头具有特殊的历史意义,因为这些柱头是该地区的新发现。学者们已经鉴定出许多植物。此外,建筑工地刻意朝向东端的夏至日出方向,许多献给圣人的柱头在圣人节那天朝向阳光。这真是一笔财富。
请注意,许多艺术史文本都以村庄的名字来称呼这些教堂,这里指的是圣马丁德博舍维尔。
参观教堂的额外收获是花园,它按照修道院周围的公园的正式法式风格进行了修复。对许多人来说,这本身就值得一游。
