Barcelona Bassa Ferrer Fresco Frescoes Joys Michael Monastery Pedralbes Surrounded Virgin Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning detail is taken from a series of frescoes created by the renowned Spanish artist, BASSA, Ferrer (1290-1348) in the St Michael Chapel of the Monastery of Pedralbes in Barcelona, Spain. Dated to 1343, these frescoes are prime examples of the rich and vibrant Gothic art that flourished during the medieval period in Catalonia. The scene depicted here shows the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, surrounded by a multitude of angels. The colors used in the fresco are rich and vivid, with the Virgin's robe a deep, regal blue and the Child's robe a warm, golden hue. The angels, with their delicate wings and expressive faces, add a sense of joy and celebration to the scene. BASSA, Ferrer was a master of the Gothic style, known for his intricate detail and use of color. The vertical composition of the fresco, with the Virgin and Child positioned at the top, draws the viewer's eye upward, emphasizing the divine nature of the scene. The Monastery of Pedralbes, built in the 14th century, is a testament to the artistic and architectural achievements of the time, and the St Michael Chapel, with its stunning frescoes, is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the history of art. This detail is just a small part of the larger fresco, but it captures the essence of the Joys of the Virgin Mary, a popular theme in medieval art, and the skill and artistry of BASSA, Ferrer. The intricate details of the angels' wings, the delicate folds of the Virgin's robe, and the warm, expressive faces of the figures all come together to create a beautiful and captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight viewers to this day.
