Artists have been taking to social media to pay tribute to Paris' Notre Dame cathedral.

Many of them drew variations of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, the French Gothic novel by revered author Victor Hugo.

The Paris landmark was reported ablaze on Monday evening and it took more than 400 firefighters to bring the flames under control. The roof and spire of the cathedral collapsed in the blaze but the stone structure was saved.

Here's our selection of the best images:

Notre dame...s'enflamme... Tu nous as regardé te livrer tous nos secrets,  Tu nous as vu nous transformer, tout révolutionner,  Libé l'a écrit, ce soir tu es notre drame, Notre dame. Notre dame de Paris, et si j'avais du faire un pari, J'en étais sur, je t'aurais aperçu toute ma vie. Aussi belle qu'au dernier jour de ta construction, et non comme au premier jour, de la première pierre, en voie d'évolution. Combien ont saigné pour te voir grandir,  pour engourdir ceux qui voulaient te contredire. Mais depuis tu es devenue un symbole, Tu rayonnais dans notre belle mégalopole. On te croyais indestructible, infaillible, Mais ce soir le feu emporte des siècles d'histoire, On en créra d'autres, mais pour toi ce soir on vide nos mouchoirs. Nos enfants, petits enfants te verront te reconstruire pour les siecles, et des siècles à venir. #notredame #notredamedeparis #notredrame #feu #notredamesenflamme #mouchoir #paris #capitale #monument #incendie #illustrations #illustratorsofinstagram #sketchbook #illustrator #slam #poésie #cathedralenotredame #cathedrale #cathedral #hommage #patrimoine #libé #liberation
