Mourner in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2007

Mourner in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2007
Pere Oller
Mourner
Alabaster
Spanish, Catalonia, ca. 1417

Accession # 64.xxx.1496 (too dim to read all the numbers clearly)

This sensitively carved mourner comes from the tomb of Fernando de Antequara, King of Aragon (died 1416), in the royal pantheon at the abbey of Poblet. In 1417 the Catalonian sculptor Pere Oller, who was also active at the cathedrals of Gerona and Vich, was commissioned to carve the tomb.
