so much for "dark ages"
the angel wakes the magi, urging them to follow the star --- gislebertus, 12th century, cathedral of saint lazare, autun, france
this is truly one of the most wondrous images i've ever seen --- now i really need to go to autun
a lot of his work was destroyed in the late 18th century when anything romanesque was considered barbaric, including this, "the temptation of eve," which was removed and used in building a house in 1769
