The Earliest Painted Panels of Catalonia (III)
Walter Wheeler Cook
A PAINTED antependium recently acquired by Sr. D. Jaime Espona of Barcelona (Figs. 1–6)3 shows close stylistic affinities with the group Catalan panel paintings that we have already studied. For many years this hung in Barnola collection at Barcelona4 and it is said to come originally from Vich.5 The work consists a central compartment, containing Majestas Domini, lateral compartments, divided horizontal band ornament into upper lower registers, each which contains three standing apostles.
