¿Patronazgo en cuestión o cuestión de patronazgo? Ermessenda de Carcassone y el desaparecido frontal de altar de la catedral de Girona: el enigma de su piedra sigilar

Abstract

La condesa Ermessenda de Carcassone es célebre por su constante impulso al patronazgo de obras de arte y de arquitectura en los diversos condados sobre los que, en dos ocasiones, ejerció su autoridad. El desaparecido frontal de altar románico de la catedral de Santa María de Girona es, sin embargo, la obra que mejor representa su rol como promotora artística. El presente artículo, a través de una revisión exhaustiva de las fuentes conocidas, pretende puntualizar algunos aspectos sobre su encargo, su manufactura y su apariencia, incidiendo particularmente en la importancia de la piedra sigilar que la condesa donó para adornar la pieza y rubricar su iniciativa. El énfasis, además, se pondrá en solventar las dudas sobre el uso de dicha calcedonia como parte de la decoración del frontal, así como su significación para el fenómeno de la promoción artística femenina en la Plena Edad Media.

Countess Ermessenda of Carcassone is well known for her constant patronage of works of art and architecture throughout the counties over the course of her long co-rule. Her role as artistic patron is best represented by her commission of the nowlost altar frontal of the Cathedral of Girona. Through an exhaustive review of the known sources, both material and documentary, this article calls attention to certain crucial aspects of the frontal such as its commission, appearance and manufacture. By focusing on the seal donated by the countess to decorate and sign the work, longstanding questions about the stone's function within the altar frontal decoration will be addressed in order to shed light on its importance as a key element of female artistic patronage during the central Middle Ages.
