The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) has launched a new exhibition aimed at reinforcing the myth surrounding the enigmatic artist known as the Master of Cabestany and the storied legend of Sant Pere de Rodes. This exhibition features an array of significant artworks, including a Roman sarcophagus from the Pisa Museum, pieces from the Museu Marès, and a book from the Vatican Library, all of which contribute to the understanding of this 12th-century artist who has sometimes been likened to Picasso.

Among the highlights of this exhibition is an effort to recover fragments of the lost marble facade of Sant Pere de Rodes, a monumental work constructed between 1160 and 1170. This restoration work is seen not only as a celebration of the region's rich artistic heritage but also as an opportunity to delve deeper into the influences of Roman art as it intertwines with the local Gothic style. The exhibition will be available to the public until June 29, providing a timely chance for art enthusiasts to engage with these important cultural artifacts.

Additionally, from April 17, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes as part of the innovative project 'Los ojos de la historia,' initiated by the Heritage Department of the Generalitat. This project seeks to offer a more immersive understanding of Catalonia's monumental culture, inviting viewers to connect with the historical significance of these sites in a new way.
