Auxerre's Church of St. Eusebius

It's tough playing third fiddle. St. Eusebius would probably stand out in hundreds of other French towns. It's old, 12th century origins, Romanesque partly and Gothic partly, and, unlike many other such churches, its history is very well documented in a pamphlet; and in English too.

Apse vaulting

16th century windows


Of interest: this pretty good copy of Leonardo's Last Supper, dated 1610

So the question is, what is it a copy of: the restored original? one of the early
copies?

A bit of the pamphlet

Starboard exterior

Port

Nice gargoyle
