EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of 420 musical compositions that beautifully narrate the miracles of the Virgin Mary. Written in Galician for Alfonso X the Wise during the 13th century, this vellum manuscript is an exquisite example of Spanish medieval artistry. The image depicts various scenes and symbols that bring these miraculous stories to life. In the center, we see a monk fervently praying before a shrine adorned with religious icons. To his left stands a barrel, perhaps filled with holy water or another sacred beverage associated with these miracles. On either side of him are majestic animals - a lion and an ox - representing strength and devotion. The composition exudes both serenity and intrigue as it invites viewers into this spiritual realm. The intricate details on each figure's attire and facial expressions demonstrate the skillful craftsmanship employed by anonymous artists from this era. This print not only captures historical significance but also serves as a visual testament to human faith and devotion throughout centuries. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand how individuals sought solace through prayer, divine intervention, and communal rituals. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly preserved this remarkable piece of art history for all to appreciate its cultural value beyond commercial use.
