EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Franciscan altarpiece from the Convent of Santa Clara, created between 1414-15 by the talented artist Lluis Borrassa. Painted with tempera on wood, this masterpiece is now housed in the Episcopal Museum of Vic in Barcelona, Spain. The central detail of this altarpiece focuses on a group of nuns, providing us with a glimpse into their devout and contemplative world. These dedicated sisters belong to the Order of Poor Ladies, also known as the Order of Saint Clare or Poor Clares. They are part of the Franciscan Clarist order, which emphasizes simplicity and poverty. The rich colors used in this painting transport us back to medieval times when religious art played a significant role in people's lives. The meticulous brushwork and attention to detail demonstrate Borrassa's skill as an artist. As we observe these nuns engaged in prayerful devotion, we are reminded of their unwavering faith and commitment to their religious calling. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that spirituality has been an integral part of human existence throughout history. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this 15th-century altarpiece continues to inspire awe and reverence among viewers today. It stands as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic mastery during one of Europe's most fascinating periods – the Middle Ages.
