Esmaltes con la Crucifixión y los símbolos de los Evangelistas

ca. 1100

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

El abad Bégon III (r. 1087–1107) comisionó preciosas obras de arte para su monasterio en Conques. Se cree que una de ellas es este conjunto distinguido por su técnica, estilo y colorido insólitos, y quizá procedente de una tapa de libro. En cada pieza, el orfebre superpuso dos placas de cobre; la inferior con cloisons (alambres) que delimitan las facciones y los ropajes, y la superior cortada para definir las siluetas de las figuras y la cruz.
