conference
Look up and discover the multitude of gargoyles that populate churches and buildings from the Middle Ages to today! When studying medieval sculptures, one quickly realizes that they do not all share the same notoriety. Some overshadow others. Gargoyles are among those often overlooked. Perched on ledges, these carved stone projections shaped like humans, animals, or fantastical creatures will immerse you into medieval culture, the symbolic meaning of which has been lost today. This lecture aims to highlight the importance of gargoyles in medieval architecture and rediscover their symbolism, well understood by the people of the Middle Ages but now cryptic to people of the 21st century. A delightful dive into a forgotten world!
