What does Rose window depict?

Items made by Master Mateo in the cathedral collections include significant pieces from the great western facade that completed the Portico of Glory. This facade was first modified in the 16th century to hold doors that would close the cathedral. It was later replaced with the current baroque facade, which made use of the previous structure and covered it with new stone adornments. In

About the artist, Master Mateo

1161–1217, Spain

Master Mateo

The Soul of Santiago’s Glory Master Mateo, a sculptor whose name remains shrouded in mystery despite his monumental contribution to the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, stands as one of the most revered figures of Romanesque art in Spain. Born around 1161 in Galicia, though precise details about his life are scarce, Mateo’s legacy rests primarily on his unparalleled achievement: the Portico de la Gloria. This breathtaking architectural marvel dominates the cathedral’s façade and embodies the spiritual fervor of the twelfth century. He emerged as a sculptor during a period marked by fervent religious devotion and artistic innovation, stepping into a world where the pilgrimage route to Santiago was already a transformative journey for thousands of souls.
