Statues, Central Portal, Amiens Cathedral, Picardy, France
Statues of an apostle, woman and angel, restored 1821-47 under Auguste Cheussey, by the sculptor Theophile Caudron, on the embrasures of the central portal, known as the Beau-Dieu portal, dedicated to the Last Judgment, on the Western facade of the Basilique Cathedrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens or Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Amiens, built 1220-70 in Gothic style, Amiens, Picardy, France. The ommission of several attributes when replacing the statues means the apostles are now difficult to recognise. Amiens Cathedral was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
