#25: Cat With a Kitten on the Roof of a French Chateau, Built Between 1393-1407
Humans have been sharing the planet with other animals ever since we first evolved. Our relationship with the natural world has sometimes even determined our beliefs. It’s hard to overstate how much this has influenced everything we create, from the most practical tools to the most artistic works.
Who knows why the architect or the craftspeople that worked on this castle decided to include a cat statue holding a kitten in its mouth… What we can say for sure is that whoever built it had an incredible talent. Creating such a statue back in the late 1300s, with limited tools, would have been extremely challenging.
