EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Adoration of the Golden Calf" a remarkable miniature found in a Mozarabic bible dating back to the 10th century. The image depicts a significant biblical event from the Old Testament, where idolatry and worshiping false gods are condemned. The scene unfolds horizontally, capturing the attention with its vibrant colors and intricate details. A golden calf stands at the center, symbolizing temptation and sinful behavior. Surrounding it are individuals engaged in worship, their devotion evident on their faces as they succumb to this act of idolatry. This masterpiece is housed within the prestigious Colegiata de San Isidoro, serving as a testament to Catholic Christian heritage. Its historical significance cannot be overstated, offering insight into religious practices during that era. Though created by an unknown artist centuries ago, this miniature continues to captivate viewers today. It serves as a reminder of humanity's struggle with faith and devotion throughout history while emphasizing the importance of staying true to one's beliefs. Santiago Ortega skillfully captures this moment through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come.
