Saillac - Saint Jean Baptiste


Saillac, a small village south of Collonges-la-Rouge, has a remarkable parish church. Saint Jean Baptist was originally built within the 12th century. Though the church got fortified later, it suffered a lot of damage during the Wars of Religion and the French Revolution. What can be seen today is the result of major renovations carried out during the 19th and 20th century.
The polychrome tympanum survived the times, well, maybe the colours have been repainted. The Adoration of the Magi, the horses one of the Magi´s attributes wait to the left. Joseph (to the right) is barefoot.
On the lintel are two giant dragons. The left (pale) one is just devouring a sinner, while a saint (nimbus) fights the right one. He pushes a knife/sword into the mouth of the beast - that has a human head.
