“ L’image romane entretient un rapport particulièrement étroit avec les mots, traduisant souvent des expressions linguistiques plutôt que des réalités extérieures au langage. .. L’iconographie fait ainsi appel à des métaphores que leur extrêm banalité empêche souvent de remarquer.
— Jean WIRTH, L’image à l’époque romane, Cerf, Paris, 2008, p. 9.
