Support : good and useful. --JLPC (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2014 (UTC) Please notice that there are not statues of "saints" but statues of "kings" (of Judea). Thats why all the statues were destroyed (at least, beheaded) during the French Revolution (Stupid guys believed there were kings of France ! Some (21) saved originals heads were found in 1977, and are in the Musée de Cluny -National Museum for the Middle Ages- in Paris). This series is from the 19th-century, and was ordered by architect Viollet-le-Duc. The eighth statue (from left), by Chenillon (1858), is a portrait of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc itself ! That's why I have changed the scope a little... --Jebulon (talk) 16:22, 15 July 2014 (UTC) |
