EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 7th century, specifically to the 7th Council of Toledo. Summoned by King Chindasvinto, this historic event is beautifully captured in a miniature found within the Primacy of the Church of Toledo illuminated manuscripts from 1253. The image showcases an assembly of ecclesiastical figures gathered under impressive arches and towers, representing both architectural grandeur and political significance. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes alive through vibrant colors and intricate calligraphy. The liturgical vestments worn by attendees add a touch of solemnity while emphasizing their roles within the church hierarchy. Amongst them stands King Chindasvinto himself, symbolizing his authority over religious matters during this period. Preserved at Madrid's National Library, this manuscript holds immense historical value for Spain's community of Madrid. It offers a glimpse into the synod that shaped religious canon and politics during Visigothic rule. Although the artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, their talent shines through in capturing not just an event but also its essence. As we observe this vertical composition with awe-inspiring admiration, it serves as a reminder that history is not confined to words alone; it can be vividly brought to life through artistry such as Francisco Morejón's illumination work here. This print invites us on a journey back in time where religion and power intertwined against the backdrop of medieval Spain.
