# Capital [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, French]() - Date: 1001-1050 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary The picture shows a historiated capital, representing the Visitation, from the ground level of the tower-porch of the Abbaye de Fleury in Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire. This monument is exceptional for the series of capitals decorating it. On the ground floor, the acanthus reigns on the large capitals, however, the human figure, which invades the capitals on the upper floors, already appears on the ground floor. ## 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]()
