EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable decorative panel depicting the Virgin Mary triumphantly crushing the serpent, located in Lamego, Portugal. Created in 1738 by the Portuguese School of the 18th century, this masterpiece is made entirely out of ceramic tiles known as azulejos. The panel holds deep religious symbolism, drawing inspiration from Genesis 3:15 where God speaks to the serpent and foretells its defeat at the hands of a woman. The serpent represents Satan and embodies evil, while the Virgin Mary symbolizes purity and righteousness. Azulejos have become an integral part of Portuguese culture for over five centuries. They can be found adorning various structures such as churches, palaces, houses, schools, restaurants, bars, railway stations - even subway stations! These exquisite tiles not only serve as ornamental art but also possess functional qualities like temperature control within homes. Intriguingly enough, many azulejos chronicle significant historical and cultural events throughout Portuguese history. They offer glimpses into past narratives that have shaped this vibrant nation's identity. This stunning image captures both the artistic finesse of Portuguese architecture and the profound spiritual significance embedded within these intricate tile designs. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against evil and our unwavering hope for redemption through faith.
