EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting image of The Savior showing his sores is a powerful and evocative piece of Gothic art. This 14th-century sculpture, integrated into the polychrome stone altarpiece by Juan de Alava in 1532, can be found in the Chapel of The Savior at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain.
Formerly known as the Chapel of the King of France, this sacred space is adorned with intricate carvings and religious imagery that transport visitors back to the medieval era. The figure of Jesus Christ sits solemnly, his hands outstretched to reveal the wounds inflicted upon him during his crucifixion.
The detailed craftsmanship and emotional depth captured in this statue make it a poignant reminder of Christ's sacrifice for humanity. As light filters through stained glass windows onto the polychromed surface, casting shadows across his face and body, viewers are drawn into a moment frozen in time.
This photograph captures not just a work of art but a profound expression of faith and devotion. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious iconography and its ability to inspire contemplation and reflection on themes of suffering, redemption, and salvation.
