Romanesque sculpture

Romanesque sculpture, like painting is closely united to architecture, and it’s integrated in it, artists used  to make the figures fit the available space. The capitals, the shaft of the columns and the archivolts of the entrance were the places preferred by sculptors of the Romanesque to carve their works, sculptures cover the porches, capitals...

In an illiterate society the sculpture tried to transmit the scenes of the Bible, or representing Christian saints in order  people improve their devotion towards them. The purpose of the Romanesque sculpture was didactic and ornamental; We found different types of figures: Human, expressive figures and with frontal disposition (Biblical passages life of saints, daily life...), animals, allegorical, but also we found vegetal and geometric decorations.
