O soše
Angel, carved about 1250 and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, belongs to a damaged pair without wings, hands or lower arms. Almost all the original colour and gilding have disappeared; these once gave their clothing the appearance of brocade and made their hair gold. Their style points towards Reims, perhaps to sculptors connected with its cathedral. The original setting is unknown, though the figures may have stood on columns beside an altar. On view in gallery 106B, Romanesque and Gothic Sculpture.
Slovy muzea
Surviving in fragmentary condition, this pair of angels lacks lower arms, hands, wings, and attributes. Their original paint and gilding, now almost entirely lost, once rendered their garments a rich brocade and their hair a luxuriant gold. Nonetheless, in their graceful poses and sublime faces—which may portray tragic interest, anguish, or deep concern—their original delicacy and power are still evident. They embody the monumental style of 13th-century High Gothic cathedral sculpture in France. Their style specifically suggests they were carved in or around Reims, possibly by sculptors associated with the cathedral there. Their original placement is unknown, but they may have flanked an altar on columns.
