Medieval Moments in Stone

“A quirky stone sculpture, often interpreted as a form of medieval humor, located at the Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy in Conques, France. The sculpture is a small, carved figure appearing to be “stuck”….” Image and excerpt from ArchaeoHistories on X

“In front of the Antwerpen cathedral there’s a statue in memory of a homeless kid who dreamed about being a painter. He used to peek inside the cathedral, looking for the paintings to try to learn something from them. He died in his sleep, next to his only companion, right outside the cathedral.” Image and excerpt from DaVinci on X
