EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Altarpiece of the Transfiguration, a masterpiece created by Bernat Martorell between 1445 and 1452. The altarpiece, located in the ambulatory chapel of Barcelona Cathedral, is a true testament to Gothic artistry. In this particular image from the predella table, we are transported to a profound moment between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Painted with vibrant tempera on wood, Martorell skillfully captures their interaction with remarkable precision and emotion. The scene depicts Jesus sitting at a well while engaging in conversation with the Samaritan woman. Their faces reveal deep contemplation as they exchange words that hold great significance for both individuals and symbolize spiritual enlightenment. The rich colors used by Martorell bring life to every detail of this vertical composition. From the intricate folds of their garments to the delicate expressions on their faces, every element contributes to an atmosphere of divine grace and introspection. As we gaze upon this painting, we cannot help but be moved by its religious symbolism and narrative power. It serves as a reminder of our own quest for spiritual understanding and connection with something greater than ourselves. This print allows us to appreciate not only Bernat Martorell's artistic genius but also his ability to convey profound themes through his brushstrokes. It is truly an exceptional piece that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
