Portal from the Church of San Leonardo al Frigido 1170 - 1180

This Romanesque limestone portal, sculpted by Biduinus between 1170 and 1180, was originally part of the Church of San Leonardo al Frigido in Italy. The portal's arched lintel, jambs, and archivolts are decorated with elaborate carvings depicting biblical scenes and figures, including the story of the Three Kings, as well as saints and other symbolic imagery. The portal is a fine example of the intricate stonework and religious devotion that characterized Romanesque art in the 12th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, houses this historical artwork.
