Gislebertus (flourished 12th century), French Romanesque sculptor, whose decoration (circa 1125-35) of the Cathedral of Saint Lazare at Autun, France—consisting of numerous doorways, tympanums, and capitals—represents some of the most original work of the period. His sculpture is unusually expressive and imaginative for its time, from the terrifying Last Judgment (west tympanum), with its strikingly elongated figures, to the Eve (north portal), the first large-scale nude in European art since antiquity and a model of sinuous grace. His influence can be traced to other French church sculpture, and his techniques helped pave the way for the Gothic style.
