Thomas de Cormont

Thomas de Cormont (born towards the end of the twelfth century) was a French Gothic Era master-mason and architect who worked on the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Amiens following the death of its chief architect, Robert de Luzarches.^[1] There is speculation that Thomas may have been Robert's disciple.^[2]

In addition to Amiens Cathedral, he is also believed to have worked contributed to both the Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the Sainte-Chapelle.^[3] According to analysis and evidence, Thomas de Cormont was responsible for the completion of the upper nave, chevet aisle vaults and windows, and ambulatory sometime in the 1230s.^{[citation needed]}

His son, Renaud de Cormont, continued his work Amiens Cathedral in the 1240s.^[4]
