Altar Piece Flemish Jorge Lo97a Marquis Mendoza Praying Private Santillana 15th Up Right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from the 15th century altarpiece, "The Angels," by the renowned Flemish artist Jorge Inglés, showcases the praying figure of Íñigo López de Mendoza, Marquis of Santillana. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the devotional nature of the piece, with the Marquis depicted in a humble and introspective pose, his hands pressed together in prayer. The rich colors of the painting, particularly the deep blues and reds, add to the sense of reverence and otherworldly atmosphere. The Marquis of Santillana, a prominent figure in Spanish history, was a military leader, statesman, and patron of the arts. He played a significant role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of Spain from the Moors, and was known for his piety and devotion to the Catholic Church. The inclusion of his portrait in this altarpiece serves as a testament to his religious fervor and his importance in the religious and political landscape of the time. The altarpiece, which is now in a private collection, is a prime example of the Flemish artistic style of the 15th century, characterized by its intricate details, rich colors, and religious themes. The painting's intricate details, such as the delicate folds of the Marquis' robes and the delicate rendering of the angels' wings, demonstrate the artist's mastery of the medium and his dedication to capturing the essence of the subject matter.
