\"Davallament<\/a>
The Descent from the Cross from Erill la Vall<\/em> with the figures from the Museu Episcopal de Vic and the Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya, gathered on the occasion of the exhibition Romanesque masterpieces: sculptures from the Bo\u00ed valley<\/em>, Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya, 2005.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If one had to choose the most impressive Romanesque works of sculpture from the Pyrenees, there can be no doubt that the list would have to include the Descent from the Cross from Erill la Vall<\/em><\/a> and, especially, the Christ of Mijaran<\/a>,<\/em> unquestionably the sculptural equivalent of the apse of Sant Climent in Ta\u00fcll<\/a> in quality and representativeness. All seven figures that comprised the group in Erill have survived, and they are now split between the Museu Episcopal de Vic<\/a> and the Museu Nacional; on the other hand, the superb bust from Mijaran is only a part of the Christ on the Cross that belonged to the group making up a very large Descent from the Cross<\/em>, whose composition was probably similar to the one in Erill. It comes from the church of Santa Maria in Mijaran, one of the most important in the valley, and it is now the object of worship and veneration in the parish church in Vielha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
