Oh yeah, I forgot that I wanted to post this. It requires explanation. Here is the assignment description:
"You are the patron of a new portal tympanum that will be sculpted for a church sometime between 1000 and 1200. You are in charge of designing a program for this doorway that reflects the current situation at your monastery or cathedral. Choose a fairy tale as your symbolic narrative. Produce a drawing of the portal to illustrate the composition and iconography. Lastly write an explanation of the tympanum that link the symbolism of your chosen iconography to the circumstances of the commission."
So I created a circumstance, the relics of St. Bill were returned to his home town of Arbitrary, and the residents built a cathedral to house them. However, they were extremely unwelcoming of pilgrims and treated them like outcasts. So my fairy tail was.......guess......
