Summary
[edit]DescriptionGargoyle.jpg |
English: Gargoyle on Reims Cathedral.
In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet"; cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of waterNederlands: Waterspuwer op de kathedraal van Reims.
Een waterspuwer of gargouille is een, gewoonlijk uit steen gehouwen, figuur, die zich ter hoogte van de dakrand van gebouwen bevindt. Deze sculptuur - vaak een sinistere voorstelling van duivels, monsters of roofvogels - doet dienst als regenwaterafvoer, om te voorkomen dat het regenwater langs de gevel naar beneden stroomt. Waterspuwers worden al sinds de oudheid toegepast, maar worden vaak vooral geassocieerd met de gotiek.
Français : Gargouille sur le cathédrale de Reims.
En architecture, les gargouilles (Étymologie, la gorge ou l'œsophage, du latin, gurgulio, guli'a et autres mots similaires dérivant de la racine gar-, par allusion au glouglou de l'eau) sont des ouvrages sculptés d'évacuation des eaux de pluie des toitures, propres à l'art roman puis surtout gothique. Elles sont généralement des figures grotesques. |
