EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "St. James the Great at the Battle of Clavijo" transports us back to a significant moment in Spanish history. Created by an anonymous Spanish artist during the 17th century, this masterpiece now resides in the Monasterio de Santa Maria de San Salvador in Canas, Spain. The scene depicted is one of great legend and bravery. In a dream, St. James appeared to Asturian King Ramiro I, offering his divine assistance against the Saracens. Mounted on a majestic horse and clad in formidable armor, St. James rides fearlessly into battle as he leads the Spanish forces to victory over their enemies. Known as "James the Moor Slayer" or "Matamoros" this depiction showcases not only his military prowess but also his spiritual significance as an apostle of Jesus Christ. The baroque style adds drama and grandeur to this iconic moment. The painting captures both historical events and religious devotion, making it a true treasure for art enthusiasts and historians alike. It serves as a reminder of Spain's rich cultural heritage and its enduring faith. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork for generations to come, allowing us all to marvel at its beauty and immerse ourselves in its powerful narrative.
