EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing an arcade capital adorned with a magnificent sculpture of a horse. Taken at Monasterio San Juan de la Pena in Huesca, Aragon, Spain, this 12th-century masterpiece is attributed to the Spanish School and reflects the religious artistry prevalent during that time. The photograph showcases intricate details of this cluny-style relief sculpture, despite its damaged state. The remains of this medieval marvel stand as a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of ancient times. As you gaze upon it, you can't help but wonder about the stories and legends that surrounded this piece throughout history. Located within the benedictine monastery's cloister, this architectural gem stands out amidst broken ruins and serves as a reminder of past glory. The corbel design adds another layer of intrigue to the composition while subtle demonic elements hint at deeper symbolism embedded within. John Ferro Sims has skillfully captured every nuance in his photograph – from delicate carvings to weathered textures – allowing us to appreciate both its grandeur and fragility. This image invites us on an artistic journey through time, where we can immerse ourselves in rich cultural heritage while contemplating our own place within history.
