Guillem Seguer facts for kids

Guillem Seguer was a sculptor and architect from Catalonia, a region in Spain. He was active in the mid-1300s, which means he worked around the middle of the 14th century.

One of his first known projects was in 1342. He made a statue of the Virgin Mary with baby Jesus for a church in Vinaixa. Sadly, this statue was lost during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). However, another statue by Seguer, also of the Virgin Mary with baby Jesus, can be seen today at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, United States. Another one of his statues, called "Mary Magdalene," which was in Montblanc, also disappeared around 1936.
