EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of the altarpiece titled "Death of Santa Maria Magdalena". Created in the 15th century, this colored painting in tempera on wood depicts various scenes from the life of Mary Magdalene. The altarpiece originated from the church of Santa Maria Magdalena de Perella, located in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Catalonia. The artist behind this masterpiece is Bernat Martorell and his workshop, who crafted it between 1445 and 1450. This Gothic-style artwork beautifully captures religious themes and symbolism prevalent during that era. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring to life the emotions surrounding Mary Magdalene's death. Preserved within the Episcopal Museum, this altar detail offers a glimpse into Catalan art history. Santiago Ortega skillfully captured this vertical composition with great attention to detail and precision. The intricate brushwork highlights every aspect of the scene while conveying a sense of spirituality. Displayed against a wooden backdrop, this painting exemplifies both craftsmanship and devotion to religious subjects. Its presence within the church would have undoubtedly inspired worshippers throughout centuries. As an invaluable part of Spain's cultural heritage, this print serves as a reminder of our rich artistic past and invites viewers to appreciate its significance beyond commercial use.
