EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases the Main Altarpiece of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, Spain, created by the renowned artist Damián Forment between the years 1509 and 1518. Dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, this masterpiece of Gothic art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the late medieval period and the early modern era. Forment, an Aragonese sculptor from the region of Aragon, expertly crafted this magnificent work of art, which features the Senora (Our Lady) of the Pillar, the patroness of Zaragoza. The statue, which stands atop a richly ornamented altarpiece, depicts the Virgin Mary, crowned and seated on a throne, with her hands in prayer position. Surrounding her are various saints and angels, all intricately carved and adorned in detailed robes and accessories. The Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, also known as the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, is a significant pilgrimage site and one of the oldest Marian shrines in the world. The history of the basilica dates back to the 4th century, when the legend of the Virgin Mary appearing to the apostle James the Greater in 40 BC is said to have taken place. This image captures the essence of the devotion and reverence held by the Spanish people for their beloved Senora, making it an invaluable piece of Western art history.
