EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the magnificent facade of the Capellan house of the Bernardas nuns in Almagro, Spain. Dating back to the late 16th century, this architectural masterpiece showcases a grand entrance door adorned with intricate details that tell a story of nobility and ecclesiastical significance. The focal point of this facade is undoubtedly the large arch above the lintel, which proudly displays the coat of arms belonging to Mr. Bernardo de Oviedo, who was associated with this remarkable structure. The coat of arms features a band held by two dragon heads and two stars, symbolizing his family lineage as part of the Oviedo clan. Additionally, it includes elements such as a capelo (a type of hat) and tasselled cords that signify his ecclesiastical rank as chaplain. Flanking either side of this impressive entrance are columns embellished with rampant lions supporting yet another representation of the Oviedo family crest. These fierce creatures add an element of strength and power to an already awe-inspiring sight. Located in Almagro within Castilla La Mancha province in Spain's Ciudad Real region, this historical gem stands as a testament to both architectural brilliance and familial pride. Through Domingo Leiva's lens, viewers can appreciate every intricate detail captured in this print from Fine Art Storehouse – an exquisite piece that transports us back to a time when craftsmanship reigned supreme.
