Abstract

In this paper we analyse the figure of Christ in Glory, a model that was created by the Limoges workshop towards the end of the 12th century. We have considered two aspects: the theological and the artistic. Thus, in the first section of this paper, we emphasise the connotation of sacerdos et rex with the crowned Christ dressed in a sleeved tunic, basing our hypothesis on the Old and New Testaments. In the second section, we analyse the colobium (sleeveless tunic) and the wood carvings of dressed Majesties such as the Volto Santo of Lucca and the Catalan Majesties, which are considered a possible antecedent. Lastly, we study what we deem to be the best group of Limoges metal images of this typology in order to determine their characteristics and apply them to the Majesty of the Cross of Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Museu Episcopal de Vic, inv. 766).
