Wonderful statues Sonny !
And very good stolen shots too.

OT : When I read the title, and as a  Frog (TM), I had thought it was 
Art from the roman, i.e. prior to the Renaissance period.
Hence a question about language, do you make a difference in English 
between the Art of the Romans (mostly copied on the Greeks BTW), and Art 
when for instance you had chapels, and no cathedrals as such in Europe?

Thanks for any educated hinsight into this, and of course for the 
beautiful statues.
Bien cordialement
Philippe
