What coincidences can be found between a self-portrait by Picasso<\/strong> or Mir\u00f3<\/strong> and the famous \u201cMaiestas Domini<\/em>\u201d of Sant Climent de Ta\u00fcll<\/strong>? Despite being almost unbelievable, both contemporary artists copied the trace set by Sant Climent de Ta\u00fcll<\/strong>\u2019s Christ Pantocrator<\/strong> in their works. You\u2019ll find out more about it on the exhibition \u201cTemps del Romanic. Art, vida i consci\u00e8ncia<\/strong><\/em>\u201d, set in Tarragona<\/strong>\u2019s Caixa Forum<\/strong> until 16 August.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go step by step though. Even though the Romanic left a deep trace still perceivable in both Catalan and European art, by visiting this exhibition you\u2019ve got the chance to understand how this artistic, social and cultural movement became a burst of light, colours and ideas that went beyond the borders of religious art and that, in the specific case of Catalonia, is part of the iconographical construction core of the country.<\/p>\n

\"Temps<\/a><\/p>\n

In \u201cTemps del Rom\u00e0nic. Art, vida i consci\u00e8ncia<\/strong><\/em>\u201d though, you won\u2019t see any objects. The exhibition makes use of new technologies in order to guide you, through five different subjects, and discover how life was back in the Old Catalonia<\/strong> between the 11th and 13th century, while providing hints of how the New Catalonia<\/strong> was built after the reconquest.<\/p>\n

This tour will also allow you to get into the skin of those old citizens while learning how farmers, nobles or members of the clergy could interpret art in order to build temples and civil constructions. <\/p>\n

The showing does also provide a tour round the most sensorial Romanic, which you can also smell. All this, without forgetting the reencounter of some jewels of the period, such as the Hospital de Santa Tecla<\/strong> in Tarragona<\/strong>, home today of the Consell Comarcal del Tarragon\u00e8s<\/strong>, or the front major altar in Tarragona Cathedral<\/strong>, dedicated to Sant Pau i Santa Tecla<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Temps<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Cat\u00e0<\/strong>, from Auriga Serveis Culturals<\/strong>, the main guide for the tours, explains that the exhibition opens new points of view, such as discovering what are the roots of today\u2019s works to an art that was created over 10 centuries ago. Would you like to give it a try? <\/p>\n
