Reliefs of Clerical Life

· Leave a comment ·

These bronze reliefs show scenes depicting the Premonstratensians who founded the Cathedral of Havelberg (a town in Brandenburg, about an hours drive west of Berlin) in the 12th century. They are on the outside walls of the cathedral. Not, I think, a very flattering representation: contemplative life, removed from the people; lording over a battlefield, soldiers and skulls, during the Wendish Crusade, a military campaign to crush the Slavs; contemplative life, removed from the people; and feasting on the labours of others in the last. The artist is contemporary Bernd Streiter.

Trios in Sculptures and Reliefs

· 5 Comments ·
These three matrons are of Roman origin and connected to the Roman finds at the Villa Haselburg near Höchst im Odenwald.
These three are on the side of a house in Bad Soden am Taunus, possibly church community related.
These three sickles decorate a roundabout outside the town of Böblingen near Stuttgart.
And these three scissors decorate my table at home – not very artistic but they are also cutting instruments and tied in nicely with the sickles.
