Saint-Vincent's cathedral boasts one of the finest collections of Romanesque capitals in the whole of Burgundy, a region renowned throughout the West for its Romanesque sculptures. But what is Romanesque art really? And more specifically, Romanesque sculpture? How is Burgundian Romanesque different from Auvergne Romanesque or Norman Romanesque? And within Burgundy, is sculpture the same in Cluny, Autun or Dijon? How does Romanesque sculpture differ from Gothic sculpture?

Finally, after studying the capital of Abel and Cain in December, what is the story behind the capital known as the "Abduction of Alexander", a fine cast of which is currently on display in the Heritage Centre? And who is this Alexander? Alexander the Great? But what would he be doing in the heart of the Middle Ages, in a church?
