Help us clean our Stephansdom! Your change can turn the left pinnacle into the right! (It’s currently VERY spiffy!)
spraybottle and sponge. A long way to go.
From Austrian Gothic you can understand the sources for over-the-top Austrian Baroque. Stephansdom, Wien.

I’m selling my newest mini comic, Enter, Holy Pilgrim, on my website. Here’s a sneak peek video. It’s about a peasant woman, a pilgrimage, and gothic church architecture.
Happy birthday, Augustus Pugin! Born March 1, 1812 in London, Pugin was an English architect, designer, artist, and critic who is principally remembered for his pioneering role in the Gothic Revival style of architecture. We own Examples of Gothic architecture; selected from various ancient edifices in England (1850). Ask a librarian to see anything in our special collections.

The Basilica of Saint-Remi, Reims, with most of the lights off on a rainy day. Not great for taking photographs unless you’re aiming for this aesthetic, whatever you might call it. The first photo is my favorite from this group.

TheTomb of Saint Remi in the Basilica of Saint-Remi, Reims.
The original Renaissance tomb was made in the 16th century, but it was destroyed during the French Revolution. This is a replica made in 1847 with some fragments of the original. The rounded end of the tomb depicts St. Remi baptizing Clovis, King of the Franks.

A few gargoyles on the Basilica of Saint-Remi in Reims. These guys were doing their job, spitting out water, because it was pouring rain when I took these pictures.

Birds in Gothic Stonework - Basilica of Saint-Remi, Reims
According to legend, birds would come to St. Remi’s table whenever he ate, and he would share his meal with them.
