Bonnefont, Metropolitan Museum of Art Cloisters

Not on view
One year after the Cloisters opened in Fort Tryon Park, Ruzicka made this color woodcut, one of three that respond to garden cloisters within the new building devoted to Medieval art. He carved four separate woodblocks and printed each in a different color to represent the garden of a cloister that incorporates elements from a Cistercian monastery in Bonnefont-en-Comminges near Toulouse. The other two prints relate to the Trie and Cuxa cloisters (39.23.7 and 39.23.23).
