EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Portico de la Gloria, a masterpiece of stone carving located in the Cathedral of St. James in Santiago da Compostela, Spain. Created by the talented Master Mateo during the 12th century, this Romanesque architectural wonder is a true testament to artistic brilliance. In this image, we are presented with Christ in Glory at the center, surrounded by elders adorned with musical instruments. The intricate details and precision of each figure's expression demonstrate Mestre Mateus' exceptional skill as a sculptor. The Portico de la Gloria serves as both an entrance and gateway to glory for visitors entering the church. Its jamb figures depict various apostles and saints, creating an atmosphere that transports us back to medieval times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured by Ken Welsh, we cannot help but be mesmerized by its beauty and historical significance. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly awe-inspiring, reminding us of the immense talent possessed by artists from centuries past. This print allows us to appreciate not only the religious symbolism within these carvings but also their artistic value.
