EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history, captured within the pages of the Liber Feudorum Maior manuscript. The image depicts Bernat I Tallaferro from Besalu, a prominent figure in Catalonia during the 11th and 12th centuries. Known as the Count of Besalu, Bernat I is shown generously donating his son Guillem I with two magnificent castles - Tautavel and Pena. The scene unfolds against an impressive backdrop of arches and columns, characteristic of Romanesque architecture prevalent during that era. The lighting gracefully illuminates the miniature artwork, highlighting every intricate detail meticulously painted by an unknown artist. As we delve into this historical narrative, we are transported to a time when feudalism played a significant role in shaping society. This donation symbolizes not only familial ties but also political alliances and power dynamics within Catalonia's catalonian counties. The composition's horizontal format allows us to appreciate the vibrant colors used to bring this medieval tale to life. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess prevalent during those times. Preserved within the archives of the Crown of Aragon in Barcelona, this photograph print offers us a glimpse into Spain's rich heritage. Santiago Ortega expertly captures its essence while reminding us of our shared past and cultural legacy rooted deep within these ancient manuscripts.
