# Cloister capital [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, French]() - Date: 1151-1200 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary One feature, peculiar to the cloister gallery in Arles, is that each of a pair of coupled columns has its own capital, and the pair is connected above it by the impost block in order to be able to support the weight of the arcade. As a result, the figures can take up the entire height of the capital. ## Related artworks - [Ambulatory capital]() - [Ambulatory capital]() - [Annunciation]() - [Apocalypse]() - [Apostles James the Great and Paul]() - [Apostles James the Great and Paul]() - [Apostles John and Peter]() - [Apostles]() - [Ascension]() - [Bearded Man's Head]() - [Capital from Nazareth]() - [Capital of a column]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
