Mosnac - Saint-Saturnin

Parish church Saint Saturnin, in the village of Mosnac (aka "Mosnac sur Seugne"), dates back to the 12th century. The old single nave church, got enlarged by an aisle in the 15th century.

Even from the gallery, the colours of the capitals seem "screaming". I took this photo from up there - it is blurry - I was so surprised and shaken as I saw a "Master of the Beasts" with smiling zebras. Some ungifted artist, with strange ideas, was given the opportunity to paint the carvings - and he grabbed it. Maybe this is a kind of "art brut"..
