The Cloisters Collection, 1925
Former owners: Pierre-Yon Vernière, Aniane; George Grey Barnard, New York
The original capitals, abaci, sections of arcading, and portions of parapet copings that are incorporated into this cloister all come from the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, constructed under Abbot Gregory between 1130 and 1146. The monastery was sacked in the seventeenth century and had fallen into ruin by the nineteenth. As reconstructed here, the cloister is about one quarter the size of the original, but the proportions remain approximately the same. The modern stone required for reconstruction was obtained from the original twelfth-century quarry. The capitals are vigorously carved; the planes are simple and clearly defined; and the decorative and figural motifs, concentrated at the corners, are architecturally arranged, providing strong visual support for the abaci and arcading above. In addition to two unadorned examples, the capitals in this particular arcade are variously decorated with figures blowing horns, simple beasts with half-swallowed men in their mouths, and conjoined lions devouring men. The eight-sided fountain in the center (26.79) dates to the thirteenth century and comes from the nearby monastery of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines.
