EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Four Evangelists Fresco in the Church of Our Lady of Assumption, Arceniega, Alava, Spain This stunning fresco, located in the vault of the atrium of the Church of Our Lady of Assumption in Arceniega, Alava, Spain, is a captivating example of Basque art and iconography. The Four Evangelists, depicted as human figures with accompanying animals and symbols, are beautifully rendered in vibrant colors against a golden background. The evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are identified by their traditional symbols: a man, an ox, an eagle, and a lion, respectively. Matthew is shown with an angel, symbolizing his Gospel's opening line, "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." Mark is represented by a lion, symbolizing his Gospel's opening line, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Luke is depicted with an ox, symbolizing the ox that represented the sacrificial offering in his Gospel's opening line, "Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus." John is represented by an eagle, symbolizing his Gospel's opening line, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The fresco's intricate details and rich colors add to the decorative beauty of the interior of the church, making it a must-see destination for art lovers and history buffs alike. The use of blue and red hues adds a sense of depth and contrast, while the golden background highlights the figures and their symbols. This masterpiece is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Spain and the Basque region.
