EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th century altarpiece, titled "Saint George" and attributed to Pere Niñol i Mir, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Gothic art in Spain, specifically in the beautiful city of Palma de Mallorca. The vertical composition of the piece, measuring approximately 180 cm x 120 cm and executed in tempera on wood, transports us back in time to the 15th century. In the foreground, Saint George, the patron saint of England and Catalonia, is depicted as a valiant knight, slaying a dragon. His noble demeanor and the vibrant colors of his armor and red cape contrast beautifully with the serene expression on the face of the princess, who stands beside him, her hands folded in prayer. The background of the altarpiece reveals the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Palma and Portopí, the natural harbor of Palma de Mallorca. The intricate details of the ships in the harbor, the rolling waves, and the lush greenery of the surrounding hills are rendered with remarkable skill and realism. This altarpiece, which is currently housed in the Diocesan Museum of Palma, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Pere Niñol i Mir and the rich cultural heritage of Gothic art in Spain. The colors, the details, and the narrative all come together to create a captivating work of art that continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
