EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Spain's rich history and architectural beauty in La Rioja. The image showcases the Monastery of Our Lady of Mercy in Casalarreina, a 16th-century Dominican Order church with a Plateresque portico.
The intricate details of the church's facade are truly mesmerizing, from the biblical scenes depicted on its columns to the ornate decoration adorning its doors. One can almost feel the presence of centuries past as they gaze upon this masterpiece of religious art and architecture.
The image also evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence, with references to key moments in Christian theology such as Christ's betrayal by Judas, his crucifixion at Calvary, and his deposition from the cross. The depiction of Eve holding an apple symbolizes humanity's fall from grace, while Joseph of Arimathea tenderly cradles Jesus' lifeless body after his descent from the cross.
Overall, this print is a testament to both the skill and devotion of those who built and worshipped within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even in death, there is beauty to be found in faith and community.
