## Romanesque Sculptures Some of the famous sculptural pieces are reliquaries, altar frontals, crucifixes, and devotional images. Small individual works of art were generally made of costly materials for royal and aristocratic patrons. These lightweight devotional images were usually carried during processions both inside and outside the churches. ### Last Judgement Tymapnum (an architectural element within the arch or pediment) of the west portal, Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, Autun Burgundy France, c. 1120-35 by Gislebertus. Image from Treasures of the World, 1961 CCP Library ## Gothic Sculptures Gothic sculptures have a greater freedom of style. They no longer lay closely against the wall, but begun to project outward. Figures were given their own particular attitudes instead of being set into particular patterns and are more lively and realistic. ### Resurrection of the Virgin End of the 12th century Cathedral Amiens Image from Treasures of the World, 1961 CCP Library
