EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Tomb of Saint Narcissus, a remarkable sculpture crafted from limestone and alabaster with delicate traces of polychrome. Created between 1326-1328 in Girona, Catalonia, this Gothic masterpiece is an extraordinary testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. The intricate details of this tomb are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully incorporated blue and red glasses into the design, adding a touch of vibrant color that beautifully complements the stone materials. These subtle hints of polychrome create a striking contrast against the otherwise monochromatic backdrop. Located within the Saint Felix Church in Girona, Spain, this tomb holds great historical significance. It serves as both a final resting place for Saint Narcissus and a symbol of devotion to his memory. The horizontal composition captures every angle and curve with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate each intricately carved element up close. Photographer Santiago Ortega expertly captured this image, preserving not only the physicality but also the essence and spirit embedded within this ancient artwork. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the talent and dedication that went into creating such an extraordinary piece. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into history—a tangible connection to our past that allows us to marvel at human creativity across centuries.
