Telamon

Enclosed in its oval form as within the protective bed of Nature, shielded by the rough surface of the stone, this Romanesque telamon, even better than its northern counterparts, unconsciously revives, at a distance of centuries and millennia, schemes used in the primitive manifestations of art, which reappeared in the cultivated and complex art of the Greeks and which from there, intact in their potency, will pass into our Renaissance.
