Notre Dame was the first building in the world to use the flying buttress. Other notable features include its famous bell, Emmanuel, weighing over 28,000 pounds; its legendary gargoyles; the façade towers which measure 228 feet tall; the west rose window that is over 30 feet in diameter; the King’s Gallery, a line of 28 statues depicting the kings of Judah and Israel, which were decapitated by French revolutionaries who thought they represented French Kings; and the three portals depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary (Portal to the Virgin), Christ judging the living and dead (Portal of the Last Judgement), and scenes from the life of Mary's mother (Portal to Saint Anne). Your Luminiart illuminated sculpture incorporates many of these features.

Your Luminiart illuminated sculpture was modeled after the sublime Notre Dame de Paris (French for “Our Lady of Paris”). Dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, Notre Dame is one of the first Gothic cathedrals and considered the finest example of French Gothic architecture.
