Autun Cathedral ((フランス語:Cathédrale Saint-Lazare d'Autun)) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, in Autun. Famous for its Cluniac inspiration and its Romanesque sculptures by Gislebertus it is a highlight in Romanesque art in Burgundy and it is the seat of the Bishop of Autun. The Bishop of Autun set forth the construction of St. Lazare Cathedral as a result of the large movement of pilgrims travelling to Vezelay as they progressed on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Due to social practices that involved pilgrims venerating the relics of saints in this period, the Bishop of Autun ordered the creation of a larger cathedral to house the relics and accommodate the influx of pilgrims into Autun. The column capitals and main façade of the church are embellished with realistic sculptures carved by Gislebertus. The artwork is a means of teaching the masses of Christian ethics with dramatic scenes of heaven and hell. ==Overview== *Names: Autun Cathedral; Cathédrale St-Lazare; Cathédrale d'Autun; Cathedral of St. Lazarus *Location: Autun, Burgundy, France *Denomination: Catholic *Dedication: Saint Lazarus *Category: Cathedrals *Architecture: Romanesque *Date: 1120-46 *Features: A rare tympanum signed by Giselbertus of Autun The Autun Cathedral is a magnificent display of Romanesque Art and Architecture.
