Titled The Gallery of Kings, these statues are a horizontal version of The Tree of Jesse.
The Tree of Jesse is a horizontal genealogy of Christ's lineage starting with Jesse of Bethlehem, father to King David (who was the ruler of Israel in the 11th century B.C.). It was inspired by Isaiah's prophecy: "There will come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse and a flower will rise up out of his root." The rod was interpreted as the Virgin Mary and the flower as Jesus. In the traditional representation of this theme, Jesse appears as the root, from which sprouts a tree supporting the Virgin and Child.
In 1793, during the French Revolution, orders were given to destroy superstitious signs, including church sculpture. Thus, the statues were beheaded by angry Frenchmen and toppled from the Notre Dame Cathedral. Due to their weight, the pavement in front of the cathedral collapsed.

Which is correct outside of a building or outside a building?
This is one case where the common usage in English has eliminated the proper descriptive function of a preposition. If something is "outside a building", it is actually outside "of" the building, but the word "outside" creates an adverbial clause that removes the need for the "of". "He was standing outside the building." (same case for "inside") The "outside of a building" is a noun meaning the exterior wall. "I had to repair the outside of the building."
