We just learned about the sculpture of the Prophet Jeremiah at Mosaic Abbey.
Another Romanesque sculpture is the Tympanum at Vézelay Abbey built in France, 1130 AD.
Just like the Last Judgement Tympanum at the Autun Cathedral in France, this sculpture was made by the sculptor Gislebertus.
It is a tympanum which is a large sculpture over a doorway.
Most of the sculptures like this in churches at that time showed pictures warning of the end of the world, or talked about when Jesus would come back again.
This sculpture is different because it talks about the apostles mission to go off and tell the world about Christianity.
