EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lipsanoteca, a reliquary box used in the consecration of Santa Eugenia de Berga, which was sealed by Bishop Oliba with the seal of his brother, Bernat Tallaferro, the Earl of Besalu. Dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries, this remarkable piece can be found at the Episcopal Museum in Vic, Catalonia. The Lipsanoteca is a true testament to Romanesque artistry and craftsmanship. Its intricate design and vibrant colors transport us back in time to an era filled with religious devotion and reverence. The sculpture depicts Saint Eugenie surrounded by delicate details that reflect both spiritual significance and artistic excellence. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within each element: from Bishop Oliba's seal symbolizing authority and protection to Bernat Tallaferro's contribution as Earl of Besalu. This relic serves as a tangible link between faith, power, and art during medieval times. Santiago Ortega skillfully captures every detail with precision in this horizontal photograph. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insight into its historical context. This print stands as a testament to our collective heritage—a reminder that even today we can marvel at ancient treasures that continue to inspire awe through their timeless beauty.
