EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 17th-century oil painting titled "St. Dominic holding the lily" by an anonymous Spanish School artist. The artwork is housed in the Sanctuary of As Ermidas, located in Galicia, Spain. The central figure depicted is St. Dominic, who lived from 1170 to 1221 and was renowned as the founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). In this portrayal, he holds a delicate lily flower, symbolizing chastity and purity. Additionally, St. Dominic carries a staff gifted to him by Saints Peter and Paul as an encouragement to spread his teachings worldwide. The baroque church surrounding St. Dominic's image was constructed during the seventeenth century under the patronage of the Bishop of Astorga after experiencing a miraculous recovery from illness himself. This photograph beautifully captures not only the religious significance but also highlights the stunning landscape surrounding As Ermidas sanctuary in Galicia. With its rich symbolism and European artistry, this piece serves as a testament to both faith and artistic expression during Spain's golden age in art history.
