EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of religious art from the 14th century. The polychromed wood sculpture, known as "Mother of God" depicts the Virgin Mary seated with her divine child on her lap. The intricately carved figure portrays the Virgin with her right hand raised, while tenderly cradling the standing child on her knees. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this Gothic masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Every brushstroke of color brings life to the sculpture, enhancing its spiritual significance. This artwork is a testament to the devotion and artistic skill of its unknown creator. Captured by photographer Santiago Ortega, this vertical image transports us to Catalonia, Spain. It is housed in the Episcopal Museum in Vic, Osona region—a place where history and faith intertwine seamlessly. As we gaze upon this sacred scene frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of reverence and wonderment. The bond between mother and child transcends centuries as it continues to resonate deeply within our souls. This print serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of religious expression—evoking emotions and inspiring devotion across generations. Let it be cherished for its historical value and appreciated for its profound spiritual significance rather than being reduced to mere commercial use.
