1450 1511 Burgos Chapel Colonia Flamboyant Simon Vault Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricate beauty of the star vault in the Los Condestables Chapel, located within the Cathedral of St. Mary in Burgos, Spain. The chapel was commissioned by Simon de Colonia (1450-1511), a prominent military figure and the Constable of Castile under King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. The chapel is a prime example of the Flamboyant Gothic architectural style, which flourished in Spain during the late 15th century. The star vault, a distinctive feature of the chapel, is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and stars, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. The vault is believed to have been inspired by the celestial heavens, reflecting the religious fervor and scientific curiosity of the time. Simon de Colonia was an important figure in Spanish history, serving as a key military leader during the Reconquista, the long and arduous process of reclaiming Spain from Muslim rule. His chapel in Burgos Cathedral is a testament to his wealth, power, and piety. The Cathedral of St. Mary in Burgos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its impressive architecture and historical significance. The Los Condestables Chapel is a must-see attraction for visitors to the cathedral, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Spain during the late Middle Ages.
