CAPILLA DE SAN SEVERO CON RETABLO Y REJA DEL SIGLO XVII. Location: CATEDRAL-INTERIOR. Barcelona. SPAIN.

Gothic art. Spain. Catalonia. Church of St. Maria de Bell-Lloc. 13th century. Tomb of Pere V of Queralt and Alamanda Rocaberti, 1363-1370. By Pere Ciroll and Pere Aguilar. Santa Coloma de Queralt.

Doorway from Moutiers-Saint-Jean. Culture: French. Dimensions: 15 ft. 5 in. × 12 ft. 7 in. × 55 in. (469.9 × 383.5 × 139.7 cm)Opening: 110 x 66 in. (379.4 x 167.6 cm). Date: ca. 1250.According to tradition, the monastery of Moutiers-Saint-Jean was founded by the first Christian kings of France, Clovis and his son Clothar. They are almost certainly the donors standing at either side, presenting their charters. The small seated figures on either side represent ancestors of the Virgin and Christ, including Moses. The tympanum above shows the Coronation of the Virgin in heaven, one of the most popular subjects in thirteenth-century French art. Despite damage sustained during tumultuous times, the naturalistic rendering of the anatomy, the plant motifs, and the delicate details throughout make this doorway an exemplary testament of theGothic style. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Altar Predella and Socle of Archbishop Don Dalmau de Mur y Cervelló ca. 1456-1458 Francí Gomar Spanish This massive structure, extending across five bays on two levels, was commissioned by don Dalmau de Mur y Cervelló, archbishop of Saragossa from 1434 to 1458/9, for an altar in the chapel of the archiepiscopal palace. The upper level (intended as the predella for the altarpiece or retable) contains five scenes: Saint Martin or Tours dividing his cloak with a beggar and Christ appearing to him in a dream (left panels); the Descent of the Holy Spirit (center panel); and Saint Thecla listening to the preaching of Paul (far right panel) and, after her conversion, being saved by divine intervention from burning fire (second panel from right). Each of the two outer panels on the lower left (or socle) shows a bearded figure carrying the coat of arms of the archbishop. The central shield on the reconstructed altar, festooned against a cross, depicts the Arma Christi (the instruments associate
