Tall, stoic composteano sculptor\nCa. 1240-1250\nGranite\ntHis original placement at the main entrance of Santo Domingo de Bonaval Church, a Dominican foundation marking the start of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in the city, set the tone for this masterpiece. In the 17th century, when the church underwent renovation, the piece was relocated to the Puerta de los Carros gate, a move that would eventually earn it its name - The Tímpano. Today, this magnificent work of art resides within the walls of the Cathedral Museum. \nWith narrative force and a keen eye for detail, the artist brings to life the pivotal moment when Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, flanked by his devoted apostles.
