The altar canopy from Sant Martí de Tost (Alt Urgell) is an exceptional piece of Catalan Romanesque art, elements of which are conserved in two different museums. While the Museu Episcopal de Vic has had custody of the front beam and the crestwork since 1917, the painted panel, previously in the Plandiura collection, has belonged to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (Barcelona) since 1932. All these pieces originally formed part of the collection of the artist Oleguer Junyent. The two institutions have decided to organise this temporary |

exhibition to enable the public to admire, for the first time, the work as a whole. This is intended to be the first step in a larger project to reunite Romanesque pieces whose various elements have been spread and are currently held in different places around Catalonia. The close collaboration between the museums involved is an example of the will to work together to increase the knowledge, study and diffusion of these pieces. |
