The statues to either side represent St Martin and the archangel Gabriel. The painted wooden crucifix with gold and tin leaf dates from 1150-1200. The frescoes depict the Virgin and child in majesty, with the adoration of the magi and an archangel, c. 1100, attributed to the Master of Pedret, originally from the Church of the Virgin near Tredos in the Pyrenees. The Cloisters collection includes Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance works from 12th to 15th centuries. Picture by Manuel Cohen
