Wood Panel with Calligraphy

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 457


Los palacios medievales españoles, repletos de ricos textiles y de espléndidas muestras de piedra tallada, estuco y decoraciones de madera en las paredes, eran el opulento (y a menudo intimidante) escenario de las ceremonias reales y de reuniones cortesanas más informales y alegres para disfrutar de espectáculos de música y poesía. En estos espacios, las élites de todas las confesiones interactuaban, unidas por sus sofisticados y refinados gustos en lo tocante a los objetos de lujo.







Displaying rich textiles and resplendent with carved stone, stucco, and wood wall decorations, medieval Spanish palaces were the opulent (and often intimidating) backdrops of both royal ceremonials and more informal, convivial court gatherings for performances of music and poetry. In such spaces, elites of all faiths interacted, united by their sophisticated and refined tastes in luxury objects, which transcended differences of belief.
