Angel
Unknown
ca. 1120 · Limestone · The Cloisters
In the nimble hands of the sculptor, a gentle face and rhythmically patterned robe emerge from the rough limestone surface. This half-length angel probably comes from the arch molding of a doorway or from a relief of the third church built at the powerful abbey at Cluny.
