Very interesting that the authors of the 4 gospels are portrayed the same as the being that Ezekiel saw, and also is described bu John in revelation! I did a painting of these 4 flowing into each other.
ReplyDeleteI love wood sculptures. Have a great weekend.
Symbolism! How I love it! I have a small book "Symbol-Fibel" (in German) from 1957, a guide or help to understand medieval sculptures and paintings. I have learnt quite a few things from its pages.
ReplyDeleteThere's a similar set of carvings in the chapel at Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight...lovely to see the glossy old wooden carvings.
