EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking frontal of the Altar of Saint Bernard, dating back to the 13th century, showcases the revered abbot in a majestic attitude, embodying the sanctity and power of one of the most influential figures in medieval Europe. The altar, a masterpiece of Romanesque art, was created using tempera on wood and is currently housed in the Mallorca Museum in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) was a Benedictine monk, theologian, and founder of the Cistercian Order. He is depicted here in a grand and imposing manner, with his hands raised in blessing and a serious expression on his face, conveying a sense of deep spirituality and authority. The intricate details of his monastic robe, the delicate folds of the fabric, and the rich colors of the painting all contribute to the overall effect of this magnificent work of art. The altar frontal is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the medieval period in Spain and continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance.
