EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene inspired by the apocryphal gospels, titled "Bathing the Baby Jesus in a wooden bowl". The intricate detail of this mural painting can be found in the apse of Polinya, dating back to approximately 1122. Originally part of the parish church of San Salvador de Polinya and created by the talented Osormort Master group, these paintings are now housed in the Diocesan Museum. The image captures a tender moment as Mary lovingly bathes her infant son, Jesus, using a simple wooden bowl. The vibrant colors and skillful brushwork bring this Romanesque masterpiece to life. It is fascinating to witness such an intimate portrayal from biblical times that was not included in canonical texts but has been preserved through these apocryphal gospels. Located inside a church in Catalonia's Barcelona region, this artwork reflects both religious devotion and artistic excellence. The painter behind this extraordinary piece remains anonymous but is recognized as part of the esteemed Osormort Master group. Santiago Ortega expertly photographed this horizontal composition with great attention to detail and color accuracy. This photograph serves as a testament to Spain's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to art history. Whether admired for its religious significance or appreciated purely for its aesthetic beauty, this image offers viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old narratives while marveling at exceptional craftsmanship.
