The lecture will focus on a number of prominent sculptors who worked between approximately 900 and 1200AD, each considered as individual artists, with their own personalities, explaining how they set about their work and the practical problems they had to overcome. A particular emphasis will be placed on their displays of humour and fantasy in their work.
