Unknown artist
Artwork Detail
A late Romanesque/Gothic sculpture from Barcelona, this figure is believed to have come from a convent situated on the pilgrim way between Pamplona and Santiago. These convents were placed at convenient stages of the long journey to provide physical and spiritual sustenance for the devout from all over Europe. Although missing lower arms and some of the polychrome surface, Christ in Majesty retains a formal dignity which gives a clear indication of the figure's original power.
