EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Books of Wills and Privileges" an illuminated manuscript from the Spanish school in the 12th century. The artwork, housed at the Reial Academia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, offers a glimpse into medieval times. The manuscript is believed to have been commissioned by Alfonso II of Asturias, known as "the Chaste" who reigned from 760 to 842. It was created for Bishop Don Pelayo as a reference to the cathedral of Oviedo. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring alive scenes from biblical stories and depict religious figures such as priests, monks, and clergy. In this particular image captured by eIberfoto, we see a stunning miniature painting featuring Jesus Christ himself alongside other significant Bible characters. The meticulous brushwork and attention to detail highlight the skillful artistry of Spanish artists during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, it transports us back in time to an era characterized by enlightenment and cultural richness. This photograph not only preserves a valuable artifact but also serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and the enduring power of art throughout centuries.
