The late 13th-century portal of Strasbourg Cathedral was inspired by the writings of medieval philosopher and theologian Albertus Magnus. The portal depicts scenes from the life of Christ, and the archivolts depict figures from the Bible. Albertus Magnus wrote extensively on theology, philosophy, natural science, and music, and his ideas may have influenced the artists who created the portal's sculptures. He also wrote about silence as an integral part of music.

The Strasbourg Cathedral is a famous cathedral located in the city of Strasbourg, France. The cathedral is known for its Gothic architecture and is considered one of the finest examples of this style in Europe.
