Claustros

late 12th–early 13th century
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 03
Em 1804, Guilherme, duque de Aquitânia, conde de Toulouse e membro da corte de Carlos Magno, renunciou aos seus privilégios mundanos e fundou um mosteiro beneditino nas acidentadas colinas nas proximidades de Montpellier. Dado que este claustro se encontrava em uma região da França com grandes remanescentes de monumentos da antiguidade clássica, é lógico que os elementos escultóricos exibem uma acentuada influência clássica, por exemplo, no uso de folhas de acanto e desenhos sinuosos. O estilo é típico das estátuas criadas no início do século XIII. A abadia, um ponto regular da rota de peregrinação para Santiago de Compostela, no noroeste da Espanha, sofreu danos durante as Guerras Religiosas e a Revolução Francesa. Aproximadamente 140 elementos foram utilizados para a reconstrução do claustro, incluindo colunas, pilastras e capitéis.
