NYC - Fort Tryon Park - The Cloisters - Langon Church
Made by wallyg
Langon Chapel Limestone France, Guyenne (Gironde), after 1126 From the choir of the church of Notre-Dame-du-Bourg at Langon, near Bordeaux Rogers Fund, 1934 (34.115.1-169) The right wall of Langon Chapel is composed of elements from the south choir wall of the church of Notre-Dame-du-Bourg, which was founded as a dependency of Notre-Dame-de-la-Grande-Sauve in 1126. These elements have been installed with little variation from their Romanesque arrangement. The left wall is reconstructed with stonework that harmonizes with the facing wall and into which several original elements have been incorporated. The figural representations on the capitals appear to have no religious or narrative significance. The large heads on the capital to the right of the altar were once thought to represent Henry II of England and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, who in 1115, visited the monastery upon which the chapel was dependent. This seems unlikely, however, as similar capitals with crowned heads are not uncommon in Romanesque architectural sculpture. ** , a branch of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the art and architecture of the European Middle Ages, is located in Fort Tryon Park near the northern tip of Manhattan island on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. The Cloisters collection contains approximately five thousand European medieval works of art, with a particular emphasis on pieces dating from the twelfth through the fifteen centuries.

(401.3 x 193 cm) The Cloisters Collection, 1962 (62.189) Ex coll: Countes Benkendorff-Schouvaloff, Nice; Alesandro de Millo, Nice [Kleinberg Galleries, New York] Dedicated to Saint Leonard (San Leonardo), the patron saint of prisoners, this portal served as the main entrance of the small Church of San Leonardo al Frigido, near Massa Carrara. An antique sarcophagus was reused for the supporting jambs on the sides of the door; it was carved to show scenes of the Annunciation and the Visitation on the left and an image of Saint Leonard holding an emblematic prisoner on the right. The Entry into Jerusalem on the lintel is modeled after an Early Christian tomb relief. The doorway is a product of the workshop of Master Biduino, who worked in the Pisa-Lucca area. ** , a branch of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the art and architecture of the European Middle Ages, is located in Fort Tryon Park near the northern tip of Manhattan island on a hill overlooking the Hudson River.
