EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of religious art from the 13th century. Known as "Chest - Sacrarium" this polychromed wood creation hails from Catalonia, Spain. Its intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors make it a true masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture. Displayed in the Episcopal Museum in Vic, this chest exudes an air of spirituality and reverence. The unknown artist behind its creation skillfully painted every detail, bringing to life scenes from biblical stories and religious symbolism. The vertical structure adds to its grandeur, making it an imposing presence within the museum. The Chest - Sacrarium serves as a testament to the deep faith and devotion that characterized medieval Catalonia. It was likely used by bishops or other high-ranking clergy members for storing sacred relics or important documents related to their ecclesiastical duties. Photographer Santiago Ortega has expertly captured the essence of this historical artifact through his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even outside the confines of the museum walls. This print is not just a visual delight but also an invitation to delve into centuries-old religious practices and explore Catalonia's rich cultural heritage.
