Abstract

This paper explores the antiquities and art trade that emerged in the first half of the 20th century around the iconographic groups of the Deposition from the Cross of Erill la Vall and Santa María de Taüll and analyzes what occurred with each of the sculptures that made up the ensembles. In addition to considering the context in which they were recovered by some Catalonian art historians in 1907, through the analysis of unpublished archival documents and photographs, we show how some of these Romanesque sculptures now housed at the National Art Museum of Catalonia ended up in Lluís Plandiura’s collection.
