# Capital [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, Spanish]() - Date: 1151-1200 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary Surprisingly, we can encounter a vast amount of bizarre, grotesque and often apparently subversive imagery at the margins of devotional manuscripts, the capitals of churches and cloisters and the undersides of choir stalls. The present image shows a capital in the Cloister of Santo Domingo de Silos depicting harpies-birds with women's heads. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Archangel]() - [Bileam and his Ass]() - [Burial and Resurrection]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
