The altar in church of Lucq de Bearn
The tomb stone mentioned in the previous tip is now the altar of the church. It is a Pyrenean marble tomb stone with very fine carvings of Christian inspiration.
On one small side, Adam and Eva like at the beginning of the world (main picture), with the wisdom and science tree and the uuuuuuuh ugly snake. . . . Amazing the representation of paradise has not changed in fact even in very early Christian times the paradise was seen like very later and even nowadays. This tomb stone looks quite nice as an altar in this small church .on the right side of this low-relief is a representation of the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham; we can even see the ram in his “box” at the extreme right. This scene on the left side of the altar is not identified, it seems.
later paintings show as violent scenes; saints had hard life (well, better to say hard ends.. . ) ; seriously I am not sure who this is, it is not Saint Vincent.
