EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the Agricultural calendar, found on the intrados of an arch in the Royal Pantheon. Dating back to the 12th century, this Romanesque wall painting depicts the month of September and offers us a glimpse into daily life during medieval times. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life scenes from agricultural practices in ancient Castilla. A circle representing time is adorned with symbols related to farming, including a peasant tending to his vineyard and a majestic lion overlooking the land. This artwork serves as a testament to the importance of agriculture in sustaining kingdoms like that of Ferdinand I and Queen Sancha. As we admire this vertical composition, it becomes evident that this piece holds historical significance beyond its artistic beauty. It pays homage to St. Isidore, patron saint of farmers, whose presence is felt throughout Spain's rich history. Santiago Ortega's expert photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary mural found within Colegiata de San Isidoro. The image transports us back centuries ago when agriculture played an integral role in shaping societies on the west Iberian Peninsula. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those interested in exploring Spain's past through its agricultural heritage.
