Romanesque capital, Nave, Cathedrale St-Julien
Carved Romanesque capital, 12th century, representing the duality of good and evil, with the birds representing good, being the messengers of God, and their tails as serpents representing evil, in the nave of the Cathedrale Saint-Julien du Mans or Cathedral of St Julian of Le Mans, Le Mans, Sarthe, Loire, France. The cathedral was built from the 6th to the 14th centuries, with both Romanesque and High Gothic elements. It is dedicated to St Julian of Le Mans, the city's first bishop, who established Christianity in the area in the 4th century AD. Picture by Manuel Cohen
