Video mapping

The Romanesque paintings of the church of Sant Climent de Taüll, one of the most important jewels of the Catalan Romanesque, have an innovative presentation through a video mapping that recreates the original frescoes in the main apse and the presbytery of the central nave. The original painting dates from the 12th century and is currently preserved in the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, MNAC.

Since the 1960s there had been a copy of the originals painted on plaster in the church, which was deteriorating. After dismantling the old copy, a meticulous restoration process was carried out, which revealed traces of the original painting that had been preserved in the deep layers of the apse walls.

The aim of this mapping is to restore the original paintings virtually and digitally to their place of origin, the church of Sant Climent de Taüll, and also to reproduce the complete pictorial ensemble as it was in the year 1123. The audiovisual presentation helps the visitor to understand the pictorial technique of the Romanesque frescoes and at the same time to discover the different iconographic representations that make up this highly artistic and religious mural painting.
