- Resum
- In 1967 the Walters Art Museum acquired a fine fifteenth-century marble double capital that was originally part of the claustral galleries of the Carmelite monastery of Trie-sur-Baïse, near Tarbes (Hautes-Pyrénées) in southern France. Only the monastery's church survives; the cloister was entirely dismantled after the French Revolution, and its remains, including the capitals, were dispersed in the vicinity. This capital is a rare example of late medieval sculpture with figurative decoration, a feature usually associated with Romanesque art. The four sides comprise a devotional scene centered on two doctor saints, identified as Cosmas and Damian. Two motives governed the appearance of this theme in France: simple piety and a professional affiliation.
