EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Virgin of the Fly," is a captivating work of art from the early 16th century, hailing from the Spanish city of Toro. This exquisite masterpiece can be found in the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria la Mayor, adding a touch of divine beauty to its sacred interiors. The detail depicted in this image showcases Queen Isabella I of Castile (1451-1504) intently studying the Virgen de la Mosca. The queen, dressed in rich, royal attire, is shown seated in an upright position, her eyes fixed on the painting, her expression one of deep concentration. The vertical composition of the painting emphasizes the queen's importance, as she is positioned directly beneath the Virgin, further highlighting her devotion and reverence. This painting, created using oil on canvas in the Flemish style, is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back to the 16th century and into the world of Spanish royalty and devotion. The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria la Mayor in Toro is renowned for its rich artistic heritage, and this detail of Queen Isabella studying the Virgen de la Mosca is just one of its many treasures. This image not only showcases the beauty and intrigue of the artwork itself but also offers a glimpse into the piety and dedication of the Spanish queen and the people of Toro during the 16th century.
