Cabeza del rey David

ca. 1145
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304
Las monumentales esculturas de reyes en la catedral de Notre-Dame, que se creía representaban a los reyes de Francia, fueron destruidas durante la Revolución Francesa. Esta expresiva cabeza, esculpida en piedra caliza de grano fino, tenía en su origen ojos de plomo incrustados. Proviene de la fachada occidental dedicada a la vida de Santa Ana, madre de la Virgen María, y a la genealogía y primeros años de la vida de Jesús, considerado descendiente del rey bíblico David.
