MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, French
(active around 1250 in Picardy)

Procession of Canons

c. 1250
Stone
Cathedral, Amiens (Somme)

The statues are on the South Porch of the Amiens Cathedral.

At the beginning of the 13th century there is a relaxation in style of the architectural sculptures. The faces fill out and the features become much more natural and human. In addition, the statues appear rather more as works of art in their own right and less as architectural adjuncts.
