EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases San Juan de la Cruz, a prominent figure in Spanish literature and religious history. Born as Juan de Yepes Alvarez in 1542, he was not only a writer but also an esteemed theologian and mystic. The image captures the essence of this influential individual from the 16th century. In this vertical portrait, we see San Juan de la Cruz depicted with great detail and color. His Carmelite robe signifies his affiliation with the Discalced Carmelites, a religious order known for their commitment to simplicity and contemplative prayer. With an air of wisdom surrounding him, it is evident that he dedicated his life to spiritual pursuits. The painting beautifully portrays San Juan's deep connection to mysticism through its medieval style. As one of Spain's most celebrated poets, his poems reflect profound spirituality and divine love. However, this image also hints at the challenges he faced during his lifetime by including elements like prison bars in the background. Santiago Ortega masterfully captured both the physical presence and inner depth of this revered saint. This print serves as a reminder of San Juan de la Cruz's significant contributions to Spanish literature and theology while showcasing his enduring legacy as a writer who delved into mystical realms beyond ordinary human experience.
