ResumoTWO altar-frontals now in the Museum of Fine Arts at Barcelona (Figs. 1, 2,)1 show a beauty of composition, draughtsmanship, and color superior to many other examples in this series of the earliest painted panels of Catalonia. Together with the St. Martin antependium from Montgrony and the Vich altar-canopy, discussed in the preceding article,2 they form a group so essentially Spanish and racial that we may consider them products of a single school. The community of atelier is obvious at a glance; both show the same composition, a central compartment containing a large figure of the Saviour seated within a globe-mandorla and two lateral compartments with figures of saints.
