    "description": "This apostle was originally attached to a large reliquary or altarpiece.  The artist has delighted in the color contrasts, placing a light blue mantle over the yellow and green robe, accented by a red Gospel book.  The figure's column-like proportions and simple, straight drapery are characteristic of the Romanesque style at Grandmont Abbey.",
