Biblical scenes from Santa Maria de Taüll

Executed in tempera on a wooden support, the work reflects the Romanesque aesthetic of the early twelfth century. Forms are simplified, outlines clear, and color application is flat, creating a solemn visual language that prioritises symbolic clarity over naturalistic detail.

Originally part of a larger fresco ensemble, the panel was detached and later fragmented, resulting in the loss of several sections. It entered the collection of the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in the early twentieth century, where it has been conserved despite the wear of centuries.

The painting belongs to the artistic output of the Master of the Day of Judgement, a workshop active in the Pyrenean region. Its iconography aligns with the liturgical emphasis of the Romanesque monasteries of Catalonia, where biblical storytelling served both instructional and contemplative purposes.
