EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of "Baptism of the Moors" by Felipe Bigarny, located in the Capilla Real (Royal Chapel) in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. Created during the Renaissance period, this polychromed wood relief depicts a significant historical event - the baptism of Moorish individuals from the Kingdom of Granada. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this panel bring to life an important moment in history. The central figure is Abu Abdallah Muhammad XII, also known as Muhammed XII or Boabdil, who was the last Nasrid ruler of Granada. Summoned by Ferdinand and Isabella to surrender his kingdom's keys, he eventually surrendered in 1492 and left Granada. Surrounding him are other Moors who chose to convert to Christianity after their defeat. This baptism ceremony symbolizes their religious conversion and signifies a turning point for these individuals as they embrace a new faith. The presence of monks pouring holy water into a font adds depth and solemnity to this scene. It highlights not only the spiritual significance but also emphasizes how deeply rooted Christianity was becoming within these newly conquered lands. Through this photograph captured by Paul Maeyaert, viewers can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Felipe Bigarny's work and gain insight into an important chapter in Spanish history - one that marked cultural transformation through religious conversion.
