EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief found in the arch of the facade of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll, located in Catalonia, Spain. Dating back to the 12th century, this exquisite piece of Romanesque sculpture depicts the twelve months of the year, with June specifically capturing the essence of harvest time. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this vertical composition. The unknown artist skillfully carved each capital with vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. As we focus on June, we are transported to a world where agriculture reigns supreme. In this scene, farmers can be seen diligently working their fields during what is known as harvest time. The bountiful crops symbolize abundance and prosperity for both monastery and community alike. This portrayal not only serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature but also highlights how vital agriculture was during medieval times. Santiago Ortega's lens has beautifully captured this historical treasure, allowing us to appreciate its significance even centuries later. Whether you're an art enthusiast or history buff, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to witness life through the eyes of those who came before us at Monastery Santa Maria de Ripoll.
