EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Saint-Jean" polychrome wood sculpture, believed to have been created between 1250 and 1300 by an unknown artist. Housed in the Museu Frederic Mares in Barcelona, Spain, this artwork is a remarkable example of religious art from the medieval period. The photograph captures a detailed close-up of Saint-Jean, who is depicted as part of a calvary. This particular sculpture can be found at the San Mamed Church in Tebongo, Asturias. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this piece, from the delicate facial features to the intricate drapery that adorns Saint-Jean's figure. As one of the apostles and evangelists mentioned in biblical texts, Saint-Jean holds significant importance within Christian tradition. This sculpture not only serves as a visual representation of his character but also reflects the artistic style prevalent during that era. The vibrant colors used for polychromy add depth and richness to this wooden sculpture. It is a testament to both religious devotion and artistic skill that such works were created during this time period. With its historical significance and aesthetic beauty, "Saint-Jean" stands as an enduring symbol of faith and creativity. This print allows viewers to appreciate its intricacies up close while offering glimpses into Europe's rich cultural heritage during the Middle Ages.
