Each saint is marked, gregory has a dove on his shoulder- it is very clear which one is which (individuality)

Step-by-step explanation:

1000–1200), sculpture of the human form, which was almost entirely religious (Christian) in subject matter, was abstracted because of the emphasis on the spiritual in art rather than physical reality. Gothic sculpture was closely tied to architecture, since it was used primarily to decorate the exteriors of cathedrals and other religious buildings. The earliest Gothic sculptures were stone figures of saints and the Holy Family used to decorate the doorways, or portals, of cathedrals in France and elsewhere.
