Légende

Fragment of a Capital with Scenes from Mary?s Infancy, early 1100s. This sculpture relates stylistically with architrave figures from the facade of Monopoli?s cathedral. It is especially similar to a capital there featuring the prophet Daniel. The figure pouring water on the left probably represents an attendant in the Birth of the Virgin. The remaining figures depict the subject of the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple. Their exquisite sculptural character gives this fragment major importance in the study of Romanesque sculpture in Apulia.
