It has been my lifelong intention to identify some of the men who created Gothic. This is a beginning, a work in progress.
TYPICAL QUESTIONS might be: What else was going on in the towns where he worked? How long would it have taken to get to distant churches? As the carvers travelled, who did they meet at different sites, and how might this have influenced their carving? Where may men have met and spent time together and shared ideas? How long was a working life, and were their first works carved in adolescence? Are the dates clustered within a reasonable timeframe for an active life? Were carvers employed by one builder or were they independent and peripatetic? On a large job would all the carvers have turned up at the same time, or singly? Did they do other skilled work such as torus moulds or decorative framing, and can we identify them? FOUR ARTICLES
