Summary :
L'Aigle de Suger belonged to one of the most remarkable treasures of Christianity, that of Saint-Denis. Porphyry amphora, this antique object is one of those treasures transmitted to medieval Europe and reused to embody the idea of power.

"The "Enquête d'art " series questions nine artworks of the museum: what are the contexts and conditions of manufacture? Which characters have shaped their destinies? How these artworks have been designed? How did they enter the Louvre? A didactic voiceover offers a precious light on the technical terms used by specialists in their description of art. Each film is a survey in form of travel, aiming at following the course of an artwork and to reconnect with its roots."
