Jaume Cascalls

He was married to the daughter of painter Ferrer Bassa, with whom he had a profitable work relationship.

Cascalls' oldest known work is a white marble altarpiece in the church of St. Mary at Corneilla-de-Conflent (in what is now southern France), dated and signed 1345.

Cascalls left Poblet when he was appointed director of the construction of the La Seu Vella cathedral in Lleida (1360).

In the 1370s Cascalls moved to the Cathedral of Tarragona, but he had to return to Poblet three years later, when the King menaced to deprive him of all his assets.

He most likely died in 1378, after which the construction of the royal tombs begun by Cascalls at Poblet was assigned to his disciple Jordi de Déu.
