Doorway from Notre-Dame at Reugny

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This doorway once stood on the west facade of the small Augustinian priory of Notre-Dame at Reugny. Symbols of the Four Evangelists appear on the tips of the cusps of the arch. Only the legs and feet of a statue survive from the jamb at the right. The multiple lobes of the arch are found most often in the Bourbonnais region.

Medieval Art and The Cloisters

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Museum's collection of medieval and Byzantine art is among the most comprehensive in the world. Displayed in both The Met Fifth Avenue and in the Museum's branch in northern Manhattan, The Met Cloisters, the collection encompasses the art of the Mediterranean and Europe from the fall of Rome in the fourth century to the beginning of the Renaissance in the early sixteenth century. It also includes pre-medieval European works of art created during the Bronze Age and early Iron Age.
