Les statues de la Chapelle de Rieux et de la Basilique Saint-Sernin au Musée de Toulouse

Rachou, Henri · 1910 · Toulouse : É. Privat · 24 pictures

A 1910 Toulouse catalogue by Henri Rachou, published by É. Privat, recording medieval stone statues from the Rieux chapel and Saint-Sernin basilica as held in the Musée des Augustins. The four photographs show single standing figures of bearded apostle-like saints in long draped robes, shot full length against plain grounds. A designer could take from them the stiff vertical posture, deep parallel fold patterns and worn stone texture of Romanesque-Gothic sculpture.
