Symbolism In Reims

The Cathedral of Notre-dame In Reims shows us symbolism of a more decretive style, the corbel sculpture, busts, and figures on the upper stories of Rems Cathedral, which are small faces carved into the stone .These portraits are architecture experiments and functions of creating height on Reims .The portraits have been examined for their extreme naturalism and also because of abstract forms of bestiary .These works were greatly damaged and modified since the thirteen century due to war and their height position on the Cathedral they have eroded . It is a theory that these mask could be a symbolism of vices and virtues, other figures can be recognised as monks
