just to add a rather obscure (but historically important) addition:
23bis) (ca. 1130-5, at least to my eye) Cloister capital from the Benedictine
abbey of Coulombs (dio. Chartres, near Nogent-le-Roi), now in the Louvre:

the twisted column below, *with figures interspersed*
http://peregrinations.kenyon.edu/photobank/36.jpg
is rather unusual, and the very high quality of the figures on these
columns/caps (there are two of them)
http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/photo_ME0000035064.html
make them a rare and precious survival of what First-Rank "Romanesque"
sculpture looked like in this region in the decades before the Chartres "Royal
Portal" changed the whole Game.
another capital, apparently also from Coulombs, is now in Kansas City.
