:galician_heart: Da Escolma de Escultura de #Ourense :galician_heart:

Fíxome tanta ilusión ver o altar e a lauda fundacional de San Pedro de Rocas, os modillóns de #Celanova e a virxe A Nosa Señora do Refuxio, do #Bierzo.

A colección é impresionante, se ides a Ou non vola perdades.

The cathedral of Laon has got the best non-chimeric animal sculptures I've ever seen. There are 16 oxen that look slightly stoned (pun not intended). There is no documentation why those common beats of burden are such a dominant feature, only a medieval legend about their miraculous help during construction. #MedievalSculpture #gothic

Are you lovely people interested in #grotesque sculptures and #gargoyles from #medieval churches? I saw some prime examples this summer and find them amazing inspiration for creature/character design. Have a look at these beauties from #Metz cathedral: #MedievalSculpture
