Arch of the Tetramorph with Seraph and Archangel from Santa Maria de Taüll is a 1123 unspecified by Master of Taüll, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting shows a group of figures in a colorful scene. There's a central figure with a halo and wings, surrounded by other winged beings. The background is a warm yellow, with red and blue accents. One interesting detail is the use of bold lines and geometric shapes to create a sense of depth and texture. The figures are arranged in a dynamic composition, with some facing forward and others turned to the side. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this work, you might want to look up Master of Taüll.
A fresco painter from the 12th century, this anonymous artist decorated the walls of two small churches in a remote Catalan valley.
