Document Summary
The facade of the cathedral from before the 1194. Christ is in the middle, with the 12 disciples around him doors. Tympanum: the decorated arch over the main. Ornamental statues appearing to hold up exterior walls on the church door to the inside. (resembling statues on the porch of the maidens) These usually represent the kings and queens of old testament. The artist payed quite close attention to the facial features, hair, and clothing material. This portal was about a generation later than the west portal, so the sculptures of people were more naturalistic: 1:7 ratio (give or take), more 3-dimensional, beginning to have some weight, individualized faces, drapery, etc The porch is deeper and there are more sculptures than the east portal. Entrance to the house of god (duh) Open piazzas around cathedral w/ porch as a stage. The drapery is believable, especially where his shield is pulling on his skirt.
