EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the equestrian figure of El Cid (Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar), a legendary Spanish knight from the 11th century. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as El Cid's noble presence is immortalized on the facade of the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardena. Located in Castrillo del Val, this Trappist abbey holds centuries of history within its walls. El Cid, known for his chivalry and bravery, stands tall atop his horse with an air of strength and determination. His colorful attire adds vibrancy to the scene, symbolizing his rich heritage and illustrious past. As we gaze upon this sculpture crafted by an unknown artist, we are transported back to a time when knights roamed these lands. The vertical composition emphasizes El Cid's commanding stature against the backdrop of the monastery's ancient architecture. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even amidst religious sanctity, tales of valor and heroism have their place. Santiago Ortega skillfully captured this remarkable piece through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. This photograph invites us to delve into Spain's fascinating past while honoring one of its most celebrated figures.
