IV.—The Sculpture of Visigothic France
J. B. Ward Perkins
The sculpture of Dark Age France is still almost unknown to archaeologists This due not any shortage material, some it a high quality, but rather an absence adequate publication. A certain number objects have been reproduced ad nauseam in the major works reference. But with exception illustrations Coutil, L'Art mérovingien et carolingien (an extremely valuable, if inaccurate, body material) and De Lasteyrie, L'Architecture religieuse en à l'époque romane , sporadic records journals local societies, there little else that available for study. It ishardly surprising even main lines development French this period are quite uncertain; uncertainty at present likely remain. In published material most can be attempted identification description single groups sculpture, which may ultimately provide bricks more imposing structure.
