Brouilla - Sainte-Marie
Brouilla is a small village about 15kms south of Perpignan. The "Église Sainte-Marie" in the center of Brouilla, was erected within the 12th century. The structure has this extraordenary southern portal, that obviously was carved by the same workshop, working in Serrabonne and Villefranche-de-Conflent. The white marble used comes from Ceres.
This is the left capital, depicting four griffons (the center-couple shares one head), hearded by two humanoid figures left and right. This kind of griffons can often be found in the Roussilion area, but nowhere the creator used the stone-driller that extensively. "I’ve got a driller and I´m going to use it.." - a song "recreated" by the Fuzzbox in the 1980s. A flashback. A little tribute. Really off topic.
