The Stryge (usually transliterated as the vampire) is the name of a sculpture, designed by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and sculpted by the little-known Victor-Joseph Pyanet. It is part of the Galerie des chimères series of chimera on the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral. It is also the title of famous print of the sculpture by Charles Méryon, first published in 1853.
The first state of the "Stryge" - that "with the verses" - selling under the hammer in 1873 for £5, sold again in 1905 for £100.
