EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite altar frontal dates back to the last quarter of the 12th century and is a prime example of Romanesque Art from Catalonia. The intricately detailed work was created using tempera on poplar wood and originated from the Monastery of La Mare de Deu in El Coll, now housed in the Episcopal Museum in Vic, Catalonia, Spain. The central focus of the altar frontal is the Virgin and Child, with the infant Jesus tenderly cradled in his mother's arms. The Virgin's serene expression and the delicate folds of her robe convey a sense of grace and reverence. Above her head, a crowned Virgin Mary is depicted, her face framed by a halo and adorned with a fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity and the Passion of Christ. The fleur-de-lis motif is repeated throughout the altar frontal, adding an element of heraldry and visual interest. The intricate detailing and use of fleur-de-lis in the border further emphasizes the importance of this symbol in medieval art and culture. The altar frontal is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Romanesque period in Catalonia and the enduring influence of this style on European art. Its intricate details and beautiful use of color and form make it a prized work of art and an essential addition to any collection of medieval art.
