From Artnet.com Bartomeu, Master
( fl 1277–95). Catalan sculptor. He is documented as working on the
west
portal of Tarragona Cathedral between 1277 and 1282, and his activity
there
has traditionally been identified with the main, central portal of the
façade, although the documents could equally well refer to the
lateral,
Adoration of the Magi portal. The sculpture of the central doorway (the
trumeau Virgin and Child, various Apostles on the embrasures, the
corbel
angels and other related sculpture; reorganized by the Cascalls
workshop
from 1375) is executed in a refined and elegant Gothic style showing
both
Italian and French influences, with reminiscences of classicizing
sculpture
at Reims Cathedral. See
the Virgin
and Child in Juxtaposition
