EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting, titled "San Nicolás de Bari at the Council of Nicea" by Gaspar Miguel de Berrio, showcases a pivotal moment in early Christian history. Painted in the Colonial Baroque style, this masterpiece originated from the Potosi School in Bolivia. The scene depicts Saint Nicholas of Myra, the patron saint of sailors, children, and students, attending the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in AD 325. This significant gathering brought together approximately 300 bishops to address the heresy of Arius, who denied the divinity of Christ. The council rejected Arius' doctrine and established the celebration of Easter as we know it today. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors transport us back to the Western Art's Early Modern Era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and theological debates that shaped the Christian faith. The Potosí House of Coins Museum in Bolivia is fortunate to house this precious piece of art, which continues to inspire and educate visitors about the enduring legacy of the Council of Nicea.
