Explain the context of Sainte-Chapelle as a private chapel in a palace that gave the monarch, the court, and the workers in the palace convenient access to the Church.
What will be an ideal response?
Sainte-Chapelle has a private entrance, enabling the ruler direct access from the palace; this entrance was modeled after the Carolingian church at Aachen. The Radiant style is evident in the great amount of gilding throughout the chapel and the massive quantity of stained glass. The chapel was designed to transport the faithful into a realm of heavenly beauty and to connect Louis IX with his imperial predecessors in Aachen.
