Germain PAuxerrois in Paris, there is a portrait statue of St. Genevieve, holding a lighted candle, while " the devil in little " sits on her shoulder, exerting himself to blow it out! It is quite a droll conceit of the thirteenth century. Of the leaf forms in Gothic sculpture, three styles are enough to generalize about. The early work usually represented springlike leaves, clinging, half-developed, and buds. Later, a more luxuriant foliage was attempted : the leaves and stalks were twisted, a...nd the style was more like that actually seen in nature. Then came an overblown period, when the leaves were positively detached, and the style was lost. The foliage was no longer integral, but was applied. There is little of the personal element to be exploited in dealing with the sculptors in the Middle Ages. Until the days of the Renaissance individual artists were scarcely recognized; master masons employed " jm- 240 Arts and Crafts in the Middle Ages agers " as casually as we would employ brick-layers or plasterers; and no matter how brilliant the work, it was all included in the general term " building.
