Description
This image, known as The Last Judgement, was carved into a cave wall adjacent to the Benedictine Abbey in Brantome, France - presumably by monks in the 15th century. It is roughly 10 - 12 feet tall & depicts a god-like figure, two trumpeting angels, a figure representing death, a crowned head & several other figures. Not sure what the series of square insets above the carving (& which recur throughout the caves) were for, but I suspect they either were used to hold candles for lighting or sacred objects of some sort.

Nice photo, that's a fascinating carving, you did a nice job of capturing the details in it. I can't help but notice how they incuded only hints of the faces, presumably to avoid the "graven image" problem?
nice shot
wonderful shot of this . I like stuff like this
Amazing!!!!!! Looks like it goes on to the right? Makes you wonder how long this took to carve? ... thanks for sharing!!
Awesome shot of an amazing work of art. I can imagine this lit by candles in the holes as you described.
