Auch Cathedral Choir Carvings

Auch cathedral's choir includes some 1500 different carved statues and figurines, all 16th century, by unknown "Florentine" artists. Reflecting what is in the windows, the carvings focus on the Biblical, the mythological, and the life of Christ. Alas, only a few appear below.

Judith and Holofernes

Mark, author of the oldest of the synoptic gospels (the lion,
his symbol)
