Portail

Workshop of Biduinus Italian
ca. 1175
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 02
Dédié à saint Léonard, patron des prisonniers, ce portail était l’entrée principale de la petite église de San Leonardo al Frigido, en Toscane. Un sarcophage antique fut réemployé en guise de piédroits. La portion de gauche est composée d’une Annonciation et d’une Visitation, et celle de droite montre saint Léonard tenant un prisonnier emblématique. L’Entrée à Jérusalem, qui décore le linteau, est inspirée d’un relief qui ornait une tombe des débuts du christianisme, signe d’un regain d’intérêt pour cette période dans l’Italie du XIIe siècle.
