Fronton de la Cathédrale

Normandie, France

The tympanum is decorated with statues forming a ‘Tree of Jesse’, the Family Tree of Jesus. It has been greatly damaged by the Calvinists during the Wars of Religion. Some statues have been decapitated at the French Revolution. The archivolts from the inside to the outside are decorated with statues of patriarchs and prophets.
