EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the "Harvest, grape harvest and the winepress of the wrath of God" miniature found in the Beatus of San Millan codex. Created on parchment in the renowned monastery of San Millan de la Cogolla during the 11th century, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into medieval art and religious symbolism. The image depicts an angelic figure overseeing a scene filled with profound meaning. In this biblical narrative, farmers diligently toil in their vineyards during harvest season while wielding sickles to gather ripe grapes. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient composition, evoking a sense of divine intervention amidst earthly labor. As part of Juan's commentary on the Apocalypse by Beatus of Liebana, this miniature reflects Christian authors' interpretations of prophetic texts. It not only captures daily life activities but also conveys spiritual messages about God's impending judgment and wrath. Preserved by time, this extraordinary artwork now resides within Madrid's Royal Academy of History collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also as a testament to Spain's rich cultural heritage during medieval times. Santiago Ortega has skillfully captured every intricate detail through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship and storytelling embedded within this remarkable piece. This print serves as a window into an era long gone yet forever preserved through art and literature.
