EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of Mary meeting the Innkeeper's wife, depicted on a decorative panel in Lamego, Portugal. Created by the Portuguese School in the 18th century, this ceramic tilework is known as azulejo and has become an integral part of Portuguese culture for over five centuries. Azulejos can be found adorning various structures such as churches, palaces, houses, schools, restaurants, bars, and even railway stations or subway stations throughout Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries. They not only serve as ornamental art forms but also possess functional capabilities like temperature control in homes. Intricately designed with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, these tiles often chronicle significant historical and cultural aspects of Portuguese history. This particular panel beautifully captures the moment when Mary and Joseph arrive at the inn during their journey to Bethlehem. The SantuAario de Nossa Senhora dos Remedios in Lamego serves as a home to this remarkable piece of art. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke on these ceramic tiles that adorn walls, floors, and even ceilings. As we admire this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images without commercial use mentioned explicitly (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back in time to witness a small yet powerful scene from biblical history preserved through the timeless beauty of azulejos.
