EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Baroque altarpiece of the Sanctuary of the Miracle in Riner, Lleida. Created by renowned artist Carlos Murato between 1721 and 1780, this masterpiece is a true testament to the grandeur and beauty of Baroque art. The altarpiece takes center stage in the church's central apse, standing an impressive 23 meters tall and spanning a width of 12 meters. Sculpted by Carles Morato during the 18th century, it consists of three superposed bodies that exude an aura of divine splendor. At its heart lies a stunning painting depicting the Coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity. Though not original, this copy was inspired by Diego Velazquez's heavenly portrayal. Surrounding this centerpiece are eighteen exquisite panel paintings illustrating scenes from the mysteries of the Rosary—a visual narrative that captivates all who behold it. One cannot help but be drawn to the image of Virgin Mary at its pinnacle—representing her apparition—with a cross held firmly in hand as she addresses two shepherds. One shepherd kneels before her while another appears to flee in fear—an evocative depiction that stirs emotions within every viewer. This photograph beautifully captures both the intricate details and sheer magnitude of this remarkable altarpiece—a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout history. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with spirituality, leaving us awe-inspired and humbled in its presence.
