Bas-reliëf op de kathedraal van Nevers 1870 - 1890

This photograph, taken by Médéric Mieusement between 1870 and 1890, captures a bas-relief from the Cathedral of Nevers, a prominent architectural landmark in France. The intricate carving depicts a scene with a winged figure riding a horse, a large leaf, and a dragon engaging in a struggle. This bas-relief, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the period. The detail of the figures and their intertwined forms, particularly the dragon and the horse, showcase the talent of the unknown sculptor who created this piece, highlighting the rich decorative tradition of Gothic cathedrals.
