Abstract

The Last Judgment portal of Reims Cathedral underwent a series of transformations from its inception ca. 1225. This essay presents evidence that the early 13th century statue columns along the right lateral wall were installed in their current location in the 16th century. This dating corresponds to a significant moment of change in the use of the north transept when a new grand organ above the central portals was installed ca. 1570 and suggests a continued engagement with the sculptures outside the portal.
