The story of the wise men, according to the Gospel of Saint Matthew

Gislebertus, the glorious twelfth-century Romanesque master of Autun Cathedral in Burgundy, carved four capitals in his cathedral which are an evocation of the charmed legend of the Kings of the East - the Story of the Wise Men. Following the gospel story exactly, Gislebertus depicted the Wise Men before Herod, the Adoration of the Wise Men, the Dream of the Wise Men, and the Flight into Egpyt -- from jacket.
