Gargoyle Art

Gargoyle art is a byproduct of the modern art movement. Gargoyles themselves were developed partly as a superstition and partly in response to the Gothic era of artwork which depicted church scenes as statues against the walls of cathedrals. The statue prints that make up gargoyle art portray the often grotesque appearance of the statues that were created to ward away evil spirits from cathedrals and other places of holiness.

Gargoyle art are some of the most impressive works of stonework photography available to art audiences today. These works are highly detailed and diverse. The most famous example of gargoyle art is 'Gargouilles in Sepia' by Stephanie Rey-Gorrez, which depicts the legendary stone guardians of the Notre Dame cathedral. However, these fantastic creature photos explore multiple locations and aren't limited to Notre Dame images, though it's the most well-known locale.
