Maestro Mateo
MADRID – Some of his colleagues were not as lucky to see their names go down in history. He simply bequeathed the expression “Master Mateo”. He could have the right to universal recognition as the greatest sculptor of Spanish Romanesque art, in particular the statues of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and its famous Pórtico de la Gloria. Fourteen of these pieces, some of them recently restored, are presented here. At the Museo del Prado, from 29 November 2016 to 26 March 2017.
