EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Anonymous Altar Frontal from St. Martin's Church in Puigbo, Catalonia: A Glimpse into the Romanesque Art of 12th-Century Spain" This exquisite altar frontal, hailing from the small Catalonian village of Puigbo, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Romanesque Spain. Dating back to the last quarter of the 12th century, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Episcopal Museum of Vic. The central figure of this intricately designed piece is Christ the Saviour, depicted in majesty, with a mandorla, or almond-shaped aura, surrounding Him. He extends His right hand in blessing, while His left hand holds a book, symbolizing the Word of God. The altar frontal also includes scenes from the life of Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours, a renowned figure in Christian history. Saint Martin is depicted as a gallant soldier, dividing his cloak in two to share with a beggar, and later, as a bishop, blessing the people. The painting is executed in tempera on poplar and pine wood, a technique common during the Middle Ages. The Latin inscription at the bottom reads, "SANCTUS MARTINUS EPISCOPUS," further emphasizing the religious significance of this artwork. The Ripolles style, a distinctive feature of Romanesque art in Catalonia, is evident in the bold geometric patterns and the harmonious arrangement of figures. This altar frontal is a testament to the artistic and spiritual richness of the Romanesque period in Europe, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of the Middle Ages.
