Beautiful exhibition in Barcelona highlights Gothic art..
Catalonia 1400 is the first major exhibition of Catalonian art from one of the most creative periods, characterized by its affinity to what is generally termed “International Gothic”. Prominent in the exhibition is works by artists like Louis Borrassà, Rafael Destorrents, Peter and John Bernat Martorell.
Objects exhibited range from the delicate miniatures found in illuminated manuscripts to embroideries, golden metalworks and paintings in the form of retables. Four panels from a retable of Saint George by Bernat Martorell are on loan from Louvre. They used to hang in the chapel of St. George in the Palau de la Generalitat.
Another highlight is the miniatures found in the Missal of Saint Eulalia by Rafel Destorrents and the Ferial Psalter and Book of Hours by Bernat Martorell.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue.
