EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite panel painting titled "Embarkation of the body of St. James the Greater, bound for Spain" by Master of Raigern. Created around 1425, this artwork measures 82x75.5 cm and is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting depicts a significant moment in history as it portrays the embarkation of St. James' body on its journey to Spain. The saint himself is depicted as a lifeless corpse, surrounded by a group of angels who solemnly guide him towards his final resting place. This poignant scene pays homage to St. James' role as the patron saint of Spain. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of color bring this historical event to life on canvas. Each angel is meticulously rendered with delicate wings and serene expressions, while St. James lies peacefully amidst them. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of an important religious figure but also captures the essence of devotion and spirituality that surrounds Santiago de Compostela, where St. James' remains are believed to be buried. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time and invited to contemplate our own beliefs and connection with something greater than ourselves.
