EDITORS COMMENTS

The sculpted creature is truly mesmerizing, with its wings spread wide and its rear claws firmly gripping a serpent. Dating back to the 12th century, this Romanesque masterpiece showcases the artistic brilliance of the Middle Ages in Europe. The symbolism behind this extraordinary representation is thought-provoking.

It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity from centuries past.

Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by fantastical creatures, this print offers a glimpse into a world where imagination meets reality – where mythical beings come alive through stone sculptures.
