L’albâtre de Beuda (Gérone, Catalogne, Espagne), un matériau marqueur de la sculpture gothique en France méridionale révélé par les analyses multi-isotopiques (S, O, Sr)

Abstract: Dans le cadre d’un programme d’identification des sculptures en albâtres du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance en France, une dizaine d’œuvres a été étudiée dans un triangle compris entre Perpignan, Toulouse et Narbonne. Les analyses minéralogiques et isotopiques (S, O, Sr) montrent que ces œuvres gothiques des xive et xve siècles ont été réalisées avec un albâtre gypseux d’une provenance unique, extrait en Catalogne sud, sur la commune de Beuda près de Gérone. Cet albâtre, qui était très apprécié dès le début du … Show more

“…Both used an alabaster described as “covered with distinctive network of grey veins around 2 mm thick and resembling blood vessels” [ 1 ] ( Fig 2A ). We make use of the proven capacity of Sr, S and O isotope fingerprints to discriminate historical European alabaster deposits [ 19 21 ] to verify this intriguing resemblance, to test the provenance of the material used by both the Master of Rimini and by Riemenschneider, and, ultimately, to provide new evidence to the identity of the Master of Rimini and the location of his workshop by identifying his supply chains. We then confront our geochemical results with the rare written medieval sources on artwork of the Rimini group that we have investigated in some more detail, going back to some of the original manuscripts.…”
