EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - Ramiro II The Monk, an influential figure in the 11th and 12th centuries. As the king of Aragon from 1134 to 1137, he held significant power and authority during his reign. The image is a miniature found on a precious parchment entitled "Genealogy of the Kings of Aragon and Counts of Barcelona" which dates back to the 15th century. Preserved within the archives of Poblet Abbey, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich heritage and lineage of Aragon's royalty. The vibrant colors bring life to Ramiro II's portrait, depicting him as an upright and dignified monarch. His countenance exudes wisdom and serenity, reflecting perhaps his monastic background before ascending to the throne. The historical significance lies not only in Ramiro II's role as king but also as count of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe. These titles further emphasize his influence over these regions during that era in Spain's history. Santiago Ortega skillfully captured this momentous scene with great attention to detail, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical value. This photograph serves as a testament to our collective past, reminding us that behind every regal title lies stories waiting patiently for discovery within ancient archives like those at Poblet Abbey in Catalonia.
