Izon - Saint Martin

Izon - Saint Martin
There are many brilliant examples of late Romanesque architecture and art in western France, but even a humble church like Saint Martin in Izon still has visible Romanesque roots, like this 12th century portal. It is still impressive, though the master carvers may have not been available or were too expensive, when the portal was completed. Large parts of the inner archivolt seem weathered and vandalized.
