1880 Bell Chronic Decapitation Eclecticism Iberian Jose Legend Monk Nobility Peninsula Spain Aragón Western Alisal Casado Huesca Ramiro Santiago Ortega


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Bell of Huesca" an oil painting created in 1880 by Santiago Ortega. The artwork depicts a legendary event that occurred during the Middle Ages in Huesca, Spain. In the 12th century, King Ramiro II ruled over the Iberian Peninsula with great authority and military prowess. However, his reign was marred by a chronic conflict between nobility and religious figures. According to legend, Ramiro invited twelve nobles and one monk named San Juan Peña to discuss matters of state at Alisal Castle. Little did they know that this gathering would take a sinister turn. As tensions escalated, Ramiro revealed his true intentions - he sought revenge against those who had opposed him. One by one, he ordered their decapitation using a sword held high above them. "The Bell of Huesca" captures this chilling moment as it immortalizes the shocking act committed by King Ramiro II. The painting's eclectic style combines historical accuracy with artistic flair, showcasing vibrant colors and intricate details of clothing from the period. Today, this powerful piece is housed in the National Museum of Modern Art in Spain's Aragón region. It serves as a haunting reminder of an event that has become deeply ingrained in Spanish history and folklore – forever etching its place within Western artistry.
