Arnau Cadell

In addition to the capitals and cloisters he designed at the monastery of Sant Cugat,[5][6] which was begun in 1190,[7] he is also attributed with similar work in the Cathedral of Girona.

[3] The designs created by Cadell on the capitals represent vegetation, Corinthian figures, scenes from the lives of monks and historic themes from the Bible.

[1] Similarities between Cadell's sculptors and others such as the capitals at the Sant Pere de Galligants abbey,[3] the cloisters at the Cathedral of Girona and at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse.

[1] Though there are no records attesting to this, comparisons of the two sculptures demonstrate strong likeness between the techniques and figures used: Both include biblical themes and scenes of everyday life.

[1] It appears that Cadell died childless, as attested by his will leaving assets to a young nephew and a significant charitable donation bequeathed to the monastery of Sant Cugat, that still owed him a considerable amount for the work done on the cloisters.
