"Josep Mundet And Joan Palet - Monumental Sculpted Panel"
Description

This large carved wooden relief panel was created through a collaboration between sculptor Josep Mundet i Tarrés and painter-draftsman Joan Palet. The composition unfolds horizontally as a continuous figurative procession articulated in high relief. Armoured angels, a central female figure pierced by a cross, and symbolic motifs including books and scales establish a narrative structured around authority, judgment, and moral tension. The figures are forcefully modeled, with emphatic gestures and deeply worked surfaces that accentuate the sculptural rhythm of the scene. A warm, aged patina enhances the contrast between raised and recessed areas, allowing light and shadow to articulate the dense iconographic program. The work demonstrates a confident command of narrative relief carving and reflects a synthesis of expressive sculptural form and disciplined compositional structure.

Date Approx

1950–1970
