EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the mythological monster Tarasca, as portrayed during the Corpus Christi festival in Madrid, Spain, in the year 1663. The second half of the 17th century masterpiece, created by the skilled artist Mateo de Barahona, showcases the Tarasca in all its terrifying glory. The monster, a popular figure in Spanish folklore and tradition, is often described as a female creature with multiple breasts, a serpentine tail, and a body adorned with the heads of various animals. The scene unfolds in a vertical, upright composition, with a group of women and people gathered around the monster, their faces expressing a mix of fear, awe, and celebration. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the mixed technic painting transport us back to the medieval period, where such festivities were an integral part of the community's cultural heritage. The Tarasca, a symbol of the triumph of good over evil, was believed to have been vanquished by Saint James the Apostle. During the Corpus Christi procession, the monster would be paraded through the streets, symbolizing the defeat of sin and the importance of faith. This striking artwork encapsulates the rich history and traditions of Western culture during the Middle Ages and the Middle Ages, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
