EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief depicting the Baptism of the Moorish of the Kingdom of Granada, created by the Spanish architect and sculptor Felipe Bigarny in the early 16th century, is a testament to the rich cultural history of Andalusia, Spain. The intricately detailed work, executed in polychromed wood, forms the main altarpiece of the Royal Chapel in the Cathedral of Granada. The scene shows the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, presiding over the baptism of a Moorish man and several Morisco converts. The deacon holds a large baptismal font filled with water, while a friar administers the sacrament with a cross. The Moorish man, dressed in traditional attire, is shown being lifted up by two assistants, symbolizing his spiritual transformation from a life of Islam to Christianity. The relief is a powerful representation of the Catholic Church's efforts to spread its influence and convert the Moorish population of Granada during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The conversion of the Moors and Moriscos was a significant event in Spanish history, marking the end of the Moorish presence in the Iberian Peninsula and the consolidation of Catholicism as the dominant religion. Bigarny's masterful use of polychromy adds depth and vibrancy to the relief, bringing the figures to life and making the scene feel alive with energy and movement. The relief's intricate details, such as the textured clothing and the expressive faces of the figures, make it a standout work of art from the modern age, showcasing the artistic achievements of the Spanish Renaissance.
