Laon Cathedral, Sculpture

West facade, north door, ever-popular Last Judgment

In the archivolt, a wise virgin

And a wise ex-virgin; no, a foolish ex-virgin; whatever

Judgment up closer, note tiny resurrection scenes at bottom

Damnation; not least, a bishop

Coronation of Mary, major big tympanum

Abraham and Isaac; and big knife

Jews burning...a favorite Christian Medieval theme

Slimey creatures

All in a row

More of the towers

More menagerie

Rare female gargoyle

Looking up one of the towers...Cistercian
severity?

From the cathedral looking toward lower (and newer) Laon,
much battered in the WWs
