"Christ in Glory" is a notable Romanesque fresco from the early 12th century, originally located in the apse of the Church of San Clemente de Tahull (Catalan: Sant Climent de Taüll), in the Vall de Boí, a valley in the Pyrenees, within the municipality of La Vall de Boí in the province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. The fresco is attributed to an anonymous artist, often referred to as the Master of Taüll, who was active during this period. The artwork is a prime example of the Romanesque style that flourished in Europe, characterized by its religious iconography, stylized figures, and vivid colors.

The fresco depicts a majestic portrayal of Christ in a mandorla, an almond-shaped aureole, symbolizing his glory and divine authority. Christ is flanked by the symbols of the four Evangelists, also known as the Tetramorphs: the angel or man for Matthew, the lion for Mark, the ox for Luke, and the eagle for John. This iconography is typical of Romanesque art, reflecting the vision of the heavenly court as described in the Book of Revelation. The fresco also includes a representation of the Apostles, each holding a book or a scroll, signifying their role in spreading the teachings of Christ.

The fresco was originally painted using a fresco technique, where pigments were applied onto freshly laid lime plaster, allowing the paint to become an integral part of the wall surface. Over time, the fresco was at risk due to environmental factors and the increasing interest in the artwork, which led to its removal and transfer to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) in Barcelona for preservation and public display. A replica has been created in the church to maintain the original appearance of the apse for visitors.

"Christ in Glory" from the Church of San Clemente de Tahull is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque art and is significant for its artistic and historical value, providing insight into the religious and cultural context of medieval Spain. Its preservation and display in a museum setting have allowed for continued study and appreciation by scholars and the public alike.
