EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Altar Frontal depicting Saint Peter, created by the Workshop of Lleida in the 12th century. The artwork, now housed at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, offers a glimpse into the life and significance of this revered saint. In this panel, we see Saint Peter seated majestically with his crozier, symbolizing his role as a bishop. Surrounding him are four scenes from his extraordinary life. On the top left corner, Saints Peter and Paul stand before Emperor Nero, illustrating their unwavering faith even in the face of persecution. Moving to the lower left scene, we witness St. Peter imprisoned for spreading Christianity but remaining steadfast in his devotion to God. On the top right corner, Saints Peter and Paul engage in conversation with a man whose identity intrigues us further. Finally, on the lower right side of this altar frontal lies an awe-inspiring moment where both saints receive divine blessings from God's hand while Simon Magus plummets to his death from a tower – only his feet visible as he meets his fate. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcased within this medieval masterpiece transport us back in time to witness these pivotal episodes from Saint Peter's life. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship during that era.
