EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail image showcases Saint Paul's Preaching, a masterpiece of the Catalano-Aragonese school, housed in the Predella of the iconic altarpiece at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Tarragona, Spain. Dated back to the 15th century, this altarpiece is a remarkable representation of Gothic art and sculpture. The central figure, Saint Paul, is depicted in the act of preaching, surrounded by various saints and apostles. Pere Johan, also known as Pere or Joan, is believed to be the sculptor behind this magnificent work. Born in 1398, Pere Johan was a prominent figure in the Catalano-Aragonese school, which flourished during the late Gothic period in Spain. His intricate and expressive carvings are renowned for their lifelike quality and attention to detail. The altarpiece, made entirely of alabaster, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Pere Johan and his contemporaries. It is placed in the High Altar of the Cathedral of St. Mary, making it a significant and revered piece of religious art. The intricate details of the robes, facial expressions, and body language of the figures in this image are awe-inspiring, showcasing the mastery of the Catalano-Aragonese school during the 15th century. This image offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the Tarragona Cathedral, a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of Gothic art and sculpture. The intricate details of this predella continue to captivate and inspire viewers, making it an enduring symbol of the Catalano-Aragonese school and the artistic legacy of Pere Johan.
