On April 15, 2019, the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which dates back to the 12th century and holds a trove of priceless artifacts, caught on fire and was heavily damaged.
Within days, over $1 billion was pledged to rebuild the famous structure, but some artists felt it would be more meaningful to pitch in their own way.
Below are 20 moving tributes to the iconic cathedral.

12. Gargoyles
Quickie doodle of my version of the gargoyles from Hunchback of #NotreDame. My grandfather was French so I will always have a soft spot for that incredible city, and speak French with a cheerful yet terrible American accent.

It was heartbreaking today, watching Notre Dame engulfed in flames. And as I watched, I couldn’t help but to see the spirit of the Seine, swept up, its arms around the roof, dampening the flames. pic.twitter.com/devOYF02Fj
