Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo
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

Gereon and Peter
1480 Oak, 133,3 x 146,7 cm Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne The panel is clearly divided into two zones: in the foreground are St Christopher as patron saint of shippers and merchants, St Gereon as patron saint of Cologne, St Peter as patron saint of Cologne cathedral and St Anne. In the upper section of the painting is a panorama of the city of Cologne, from the Bayenturm in the south to St Kunibert in the north. The view of the city is extraordinarily accurate. The panel may well have been commissioned after Cologne had become a free town of the Empire (1475) and may document the city's self-consciousness. The artist appears to have been a follower of the school of Stefan Lochner and his style shows a Netherlandish training in its realistic detail. The artist of the panel is referred to as the Master of the Assumption. , UNKNOWN MASTER, German , Sts Anne, Christopher, Gereon and Peter , 1451-1500 , German , painting , religious

The Annunciation
1430 Wood, 140 x 169 cm Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona The anonymous Castilian painter who in the first half of the fifteenth century painted this Annunciation was probably more of a craftsman than an artist. Certainly he had not assimilated the pictorial innovations already evident in Italy and north of the Alps. The work reveals an independence in the treatment which calls to mind the way in which the peasant craftsmen of Eastern Europe freely adapted acknowledged styles to suit local tastes when they decorated some of the churches of the Carpathian Basin. This work owes a great deal to Gothic art, but the Castilian painter has given free rein to his love of ornamentation. The lack of perspective seems unimportant where there is such a decorative use of colour for the garments, and the vase with three lilies distracts us from the clumsy proportions of the figure of Mary. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , The Annunciation , 1401-1450 , Spanish , painting , religious

Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo
1300 Panel Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona The linear style is remarkable for its subtlety. It is characterized, particularly in northern Spain, by undulating rhythms and a refined color scale. The backgrounds, in which architecture, furniture, and occasionally utensils are schematically represented, are in monochrome, but the figures that occupy the foreground have an expressive humanity, very different from the hieratic formalism of the past. A typical and very ancient example of the calligraphic style is the decoration of the tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carrillo (Barcelona Museum). This comes from Mahamud (Burgos) and marks the beginning of the Gothic style in Castile. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo (detail) , 1301-1350 , Spanish , painting , religious

Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo
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

This is the first generally accurate illustration of the important city of Cologne and one of the earliest German painting on canvas.
