EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "San Diego of Alcala" transports viewers back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of religious art and devotion. Created by Pedro de Mena, a renowned Spanish sculptor from the Baroque period, this polychromed wood sculpture stands at an impressive height of 61.5 cm. The image showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. The saintly figure of San Diego of Alcala is depicted in his traditional habit as a lay brother of the Order of Friars Minor. His serene expression exudes piety and humility, capturing the essence of his role as one of the first missionaries to the Canary Islands. The vibrant colors used in polychroming bring life to this wooden sculpture, enhancing its visual impact. The drapery skillfully carved by Mena adds depth and realism to San Diego's flowing robes. Displayed at the San Diego Museum of Art in California, USA, this artwork serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence. Its acquisition was made possible through funds from generous donors who recognized its historical significance. As we admire this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of San Diego's spiritual journey but also how art can transcend time and connect us with our past.
