EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rude gargoyle, perched high above on the medieval seminary walls at Tours, France. Dating back to the 11th century, this historic building now serves as a prestigious girls' school, yet once upon a time, the masons who constructed it amused themselves by carving such intricate and mischievous figures. The gargoyle, with its grotesque features and menacing expression, was a common motif in medieval architecture, serving both practical and decorative purposes. The practical function was to channel rainwater away from the building, while the decorative aspect added an element of whimsy and intrigue. This specific gargoyle, with its exaggerated nose, pointed ears, and sneering mouth, is a prime example of the artistic freedom masons took in their work. The intricate details of the sculpture are evident in this photograph, revealing the masterful craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The history of this building and its gargoyles is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived and worked in medieval Tours. The gargoyle's rude and playful demeanor serves as a reminder of the human touch that can be found even in the most respectable and historic of buildings. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on the rich history of Tours and the artistry of its medieval past. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and whimsy of a time long past.
