France (Autun, Burgundy)

Historiated Capital and Interlaced Column Shaft by Gislebertus from the Cathedral of Saint-Lazare

2200

High Romanesque (12th Century), c. 1120–1135 CE

A Romanesque historiated capital (c. 1120–1135 CE) by Gislebertus featuring a procession of figural musicians and allegorical figures in high relief, paired with an elaborately carved column shaft of multi-strand strapwork interlace in diagonal lattices with raised bead-reels — exemplifying the fusion of northern linear tradition with Burgundian monumental sculpture.
