EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable plaque depicting Christ's blessing, crafted with meticulous detail and adorned in gold and champlevé enamel. Created by the Spanish School during the 12th century, this exquisite piece of art now resides in the Museo Lazaro Galdiano in Madrid, Spain. The plaque emanates an aura of medieval spirituality as it captures a profound moment of benediction. Jesus is depicted with outstretched arms, bestowing his divine blessings upon all who gaze upon him. The intricate goldwork and vibrant champlevé enamel bring to life every delicate feature of Christ's figure. A prominent element within this artwork is the mandorla - an almond-shaped aureole that surrounds Jesus' body. This symbolizes his divinity and serves as a visual representation of his sacred presence among humanity. The craftsmanship displayed in this Romanesque relic is truly awe-inspiring. Each stroke of gold leaf and each carefully applied layer of enamel speaks volumes about the skill and dedication invested by its creator. As we contemplate this magnificent work, we are transported back through time to witness a moment frozen forever in history – a moment where faith intertwines with artistic expression. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with spirituality, serving as a powerful medium for devotion and reverence across centuries. Bridgeman Images has captured not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual essence imbued within this extraordinary artifact from Fine Art Finder’s collection. Through their lens, they have preserved for eternity an image
