Sacyr Vallehermoso to acquire relief by Pere Oller

Spain-based real estate and construction company Sacyr Vallehermoso (SyV) and the Museo Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) will sign a cooperation agreement on July 26. SyV group will acquire a 15th century alabaster relief by Catalan sculptor Pere Oller. In the late 14th century and first half of the 15th century, Pere Oller was an influential artist in Catalonian gothic sculpture.

The rectangular art piece, showing two masculine figures in religious garments, has similar architectural characteristics to the altarpiece in the Catedral de Vic (1420), one of Oller's main works. This alabaster shows the maturity of an artist whose main work was carried out in the first half of the 15th century.
