Lapidarium: The Secret Lives of Stones

Product Information

In the fifth hall there are mainly torsos, e.g. apart of the Marian column from the Old Town Square, one of the masterpieces by Jan Jiří Bendl, who is also the author of equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas, originally standing in the middle of the Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) and the copy of which is nowadays mounted in Vyšehrad. Thanks to the statue of Hercules fighting with alion, from ahouse in the New Town (Nové Město) from the 17 th century, we can see colorfulness of polychrome sculptures of that time. The original of the Wimmer’s fountain, acopy of which is at Uhelný trh [Coal Market Square], from the year 1797 by František Xaver Lederer is also worth admiring.

Taking a cue from Arnold's initial investigations, the Lapidarium database has been expanded to include a comprehensive 3D record of the 350 in-situ spolia reused around the Cathedral and Precinct. Together these corpora are vital in understanding the medieval fabric of the Cathedral and Cloisters. The west triforium passage of the Nave North Aisle is largely composed of other Romanesque architectural fragments from the west façade replaced during the insertion of the Great West Window. Scaffolding along the north side of the Cathedral in recent years has provided once-in-a-lifetime access for recording. The Nave north and south walls incorporate fragments of former Romanesque windows and the Perpendicular clerestory features dozens of shaft drums reused from the former Romanesque clerestory. Dozens of marble sculptural fragments from the twelfth-century cloisters are reused in the external facing of the Old Deanery, accessed using the 10m aerial-work-platform funded by the Friends in 2007 and still going strong! Together with the Lapidarium collection, this sizeable database is now available online in 3D (via www.rochestercathedral.org/lapidarium), preserving and opening these collections for further study as we piece together our understanding of the medieval Cathedral.
