EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "L invention du corps de saint Etienne - The Invention of the Body of Saint Stephen" a remarkable painting by the Vergos family, who were active in the late 15th century. Created around 1495 using tempera on panel, this artwork measures an impressive 203x132 cm and is housed in the Museu Nacional d Art de Catalunya in Barcelona. The painting depicts a scene from the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, with various elements that evoke both awe and contemplation. A bishop can be seen holding a crucifix while surrounded by religious orders and a gravedigger's tool, symbolizing death and resurrection. The vibrant colors used throughout the piece bring it to life against its gold background. The artist skillfully captures the medieval period's essence through intricate details such as cityscape elements and gothic art influences. This portrayal highlights not only Saint Stephen's significance but also his miraculous relics' discovery. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported back to Spain during the 15th century, where religion played a central role in society. Through their expertise in color usage and attention to detail, Pau Vergos (c. 1465-95) created an enduring work that continues to captivate viewers today. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke of this extraordinary painting while immersing ourselves in its rich historical context. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and connect us with our pasts.
