Georges 1er d'Amboise humaniste : les stalles du château de Gaillon, dialogue des sibylles et des vertus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cardinal George I d'Amboise is known for his clerical and political functions. When he had reached the height of his glory, by combining the apostolic functions of legate in France and Avignon, and political functions of first counsellor to King Louis XII, he had a splendid private palace built in Gaillon, within which he had several chapels erected. A set of stalls was built, between 1509 and 1518, for the high chapel whose apse is exactly superimposed on that of the low chapel. These stalls are kept in the Basilica of St. Denis, and are the only work, among those commissioned by the cardinal, which has come down to us in almost complete integrity. Like the Château de Gaillon, they present a mix of styles specific to their time, happily combining Gothic and ancient vocabulary. Italian craftsmen came to the site in 1509 and created the marquetry panels. Among them was Giovanni Barili who led this team. All the innovative elements were realized that year. The death of the cardinal in 1510 blocked the work, which was taken over in 1516 by Nicolas Castille. He created a few elements but not enough to make the fourteen stalls planned, so there are only twelve. The elements that were restored or created under Viollet-le-Duc have not altered the appearance or iconography of the ensemble. The sculpted scenes are chosen from the lives of saints or have been inspired by engravings of G. Reisch's Margarita philosophica or Ovid's Metamorphoses. The inlaid scenes call upon the Calendar of the Shepherds, the Book of Hours of Louis de Laval and the dialogue between the sibyls and the virtues links them to the collection of the Divine Institutions of Lactance. The humanist spirit of George I d'Amboise was thus able to reveal itself in the valorization of the ancient spirit and the care he put into dispensing this culture.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
