Saint-Mandé-sur-Brédoire - Saint-Brice

25 Jan 2016 1 217
Saint-Mandé-sur-Brédoire is about 4 kms west of Aulnay, a distance an able man walked probably in less than an hour. It is absolutely clear, that the master-workshops working in Aulnay, did work here as well. Saint-Brice, a small single nave structure, has many parallels to Saint-Pierre in Aulnay. Some icons were tried here, before they were carved in another scale and another quality for Saint-Pierre. So this church may have served as a "sample book". Most surprising is Saint-Brice´s side portal. I will add details. Here are - one of the seven bishops (previous upload), a heron, two musicians and - the "Rod of Asclepius". Or is this just a snake and a tree? The snake Eve met once..?
