EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the Church of Santa Maria Conesa, a magnificent Gothic-style temple located in the heart of Catalonia, Spain. Built between 1339 and 1347, the church is a testament to the rich artistic and architectural heritage of the region. The general contractor of this architectural marvel was Guillem Pedrola, and the intricate stone sculptures adorning the doorway are a clear indication of the exceptional craftsmanship that went into its construction. The central figure above the door is the Virgin Mary (Santa Maria Conesa), depicted with her infant son, Jesus, in her arms. The sculpture is carved into the key-stone of the vault, making it a focal point of the temple's exterior. The portrait heads of Guillem Pedrola and the stonecutter are also carved into the stone, adding a personal touch to this historical masterpiece. The Church of Santa Maria Conesa is a significant example of medieval architecture in the Province of Tarragona, Catalonia. Its intricate details, such as the carved portraits and the Gothic style, transport us back in time to the 14th century. The Cistercian order played a crucial role in the construction of this temple, and its influence is evident in the church's simple yet elegant design. This print is a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the smallest of details. The intricate carvings on the doorway of the Church of Santa Maria Conesa are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who worked on this magnificent structure over 700 years ago.
