EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite front of Sant Marti of Gia or Xia, located in the picturesque Benasque Valley, Alta Ribagorza. The artwork, dating back to the 13th century, is an altarpiece that beautifully depicts scenes from the life of Sant Marti, bishop of Tours. Crafted meticulously on wood and adorned with stucco reliefs, this Romanesque masterpiece emanates a sense of divine splendor. The painting's vibrant colors bring each detail to life as it narrates the remarkable journey of Sant Marti. From his noble beginnings as a bishop to his encounters with saints and demons alike, every scene is intricately carved and painted by skilled hands. Displayed at the National Museum of Art in Catalonia (Barcelona), this horizontal composition mesmerizes viewers with its rich cultural heritage. Santiago Ortega's lens captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a profound sense of spirituality embodied within these carvings. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported through time and space into an era where art was not merely decorative but served as a medium for storytelling and spiritual reflection. Let us cherish this glimpse into Spain's glorious past - a testament to human creativity and devotion that continues to inspire generations today.
