The artwork, titled “Capital, Abbey of Sant’Antimo, Italy,” is a distinguished piece from the Romanesque architecture movement, created circa 1050. It belongs to the genre of architecture and is part of the “Capitals” series.
The artwork showcases intricate carvings typical of Romanesque capital design, with a variety of figures meticulously sculpted into stone. Situated at the top of a column, this capital features a series of human and animal forms that appear engaged in a dynamic interaction. The figures are detailed with expressive gestures and elaborate drapery, accentuating the narrative element pervasive in Romanesque art. The craftsmanship exemplifies the robustness and symbolic richness characteristic of 11th-century ecclesiastical architecture, capturing both the cultural and spiritual essence of its era.
