1300 Tempera on wood Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona In the mid 13th century a new type of funeral monument appeared in France: a marble or stone tomb on which the figure of the deceased is lying and its sides representing the participants of the funeral procession in reliefs. This type also appeared in Spain, however, corresponding to the local traditions, it was realized from wood with side panels covered by paintings instead of sculptures. The panels shown come from the tomb of Sancho Saiz de Carillo in Burgos. The arrangement of the figures follows the frieze-type. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo (detail) , 1251-1300 , Spanish , painting , religious

Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo
ID de tableau:: 65009
1300 Panel Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona The so-called Linear Style of the Gothic painting developed principally in the north of Spain, its straight lines and rigid figurative scheme recalling contemporary Romanesque Apocalypse manuscripts. The row of lamenting women on the ceiling of the tomb, now in Barcelona, of Sancho Saiz Carillo, a nobleman from Burgos, is Gothic only in that the figures are positioned in rows and overlap. The posture and gestures, even the physiognomies, are borrowed from a largely traditional style that still clearly bears signs of the Romanesque. The work's firm lines make it a particularly bold exmple of the Linear Style, which dominated Spanish painting in the years between 1290 and 1350. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo (detail) , 1301-1350 , Spanish , painting , religious
