EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring fresco of "Christ in Majesty flanked by seraphim and symbols of the Evangelists" from San Climente in Taull, Catalonia. Created around 1123 by the Master of Tahull, a renowned artist from the 12th century, this masterpiece now resides at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona. The artwork depicts Christ seated on a majestic throne, radiating divine light as he blesses with an outstretched hand. Surrounding him are ethereal seraphim, their wings gracefully spread as they pay homage to his majesty. The serene expression on Christ's face exudes both wisdom and compassion, embodying his role as the Light of the World. Symbolism plays a significant role in this piece, with each evangelist represented by their respective symbol: Matthew (the angel), Mark (the lion), Luke (the ox), and John (the eagle). These symbols serve as reminders of their gospel contributions and further enhance the spiritual significance of this fresco. The fusion of Mozarabic features and Italo-Byzantine influences is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing a harmonious blend between different artistic traditions. The romanesque style adds depth to this composition while emphasizing its religious context. As you gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let it transport you back to ancient Catalonia where faith and creativity converged to create something truly extraordinary.
