1. Title: Saint James the Pilgrim, Circa Pedro Berruguete (16th century) This exquisite oil on board painting depicts Saint James the Apostle, also known as Santiago Matamoros or Saint James the Moor-slayer, in his traditional attire as the patron saint of pilgrims and of Spain. The artwork, believed to be from the circle of Pedro Berruguete, dates back to the early 16th century and is currently housed in the Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. Saint James is portrayed as an elderly man with a long white beard and a wide-brimmed hat, symbolizing his association with pilgrims and travelers. He is dressed in a simple brown cloak, and his right hand holds a pilgrim's staff, while his left hand is raised in blessing. The saint is shown wearing a military tunic, alluding to his legendary role in the Battle of Clavijo, where he is said to have appeared to lead the Christian army to victory against the Moors. The painting's intricate details and realistic portrayal of Saint James are characteristic of the European artistic style of the 16th century. The use of oil on board as the medium adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating representation of the revered saint. The Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago in Santiago de Compostela is a significant cultural institution dedicated to preserving the history and traditions of the Camino de Santiago, the famous pilgrimage route to the shrine of Saint James. This painting of Saint James the Pilgrim serves as a testament to the enduring importance of the saint and the pilgrimage in European history and Christianity.
