EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th century altarpiece, titled "Saint George" and attributed to Pere Niñol, showcases the exquisite Gothic art of the Balearic Islands, specifically from the city of Palma de Mallorca. The painting, created between 1468 and 1470, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the time, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. In the background, the tranquil bay of Palma and Portopí are depicted under a clear, sunlit sky. The natural beauty of the landscape is a common element in the art of this period, reflecting the deep connection between the people of Mallorca and their environment. The altarpiece is made of tempera on wood, a technique that was popular during the Gothic era. The use of tempera allowed for a rich, matte finish and the ability to create intricate details, as seen in the armor and facial features of Saint George. The diocesan museum in Palma de Mallorca is home to this masterpiece, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. The horizontal composition and the abundance of natural light enhance the colors and textures of the painting, making it a must-see for anyone interested in European art history. Pere Niñol's "Saint George" is a prime example of the artistic and cultural heritage of Mallorca during the 15th century. The painting's intricate details, vibrant colors, and beautiful depiction of the natural world continue to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
