Virgin and Child

The Cloisters is a museum located near the northern tip of Manhattan in New York City. The building, which is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was reconstructed in the 1930s from the architectural elements of several European medieval abbeys. It is used to exhibit art and architecture from Medieval Europe.
The Fuentidueña Chapel in The Cloisters, with its barrel vault ceiling and 12th century apse, is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture. The apse is dominated by a fresco of the Virgin and Child with the winged figures of Michael and Gabriel on either side.
