Master of Sant Esteve d'Andorra

Master of Sant Esteve d'Andorra is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.

This anonymous painter worked in the early 13th century around Andorra’s Romanesque churches, leaving behind altar imagery that still clings to gold leaf and stiff folds. Their Christ of the Crown of Thorns and Winged Ox of Saint Luke sit in Sant Esteve d’Andorra, where the ox’s serene mask and the blood-threaded crown feel closer to the carved capitals than to later softness. See how the ox’s wings double as a frame; tap that Winged Ox to step inside the church’s painted world.
