L'Architecte du Palais - Le Mystère de la Sainte-Chapelle #[nn]

Glénat and Éditions du Patrimoine bring together writer Saint-Dizier and artist Mutti for this gorgeous album centered on one of Paris's most breathtaking medieval monuments. The cover draws you straight into the soaring upper chapel of the Sainte-Chapelle, its towering stained-glass windows flooding the nave with color while two small figures stand at the far end, dwarfed by the grandeur around them — and an architectural blueprint panel frames the left edge, hinting at the mystery of the building's creation. Published in 2017 in partnership with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, it's a beautifully crafted invitation to explore the history and secrets behind this thirteenth-century masterpiece.
