EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the San Luis Rey Side Altar, a remarkable piece of decorative art from Spanish California. Created by an unknown artist in the 1930s or 1940s, this image captures the essence of colonialism and Christianity that shaped this region's cultural heritage. The altar, situated within the San Luis Rey Mission, is adorned with intricate floral designs and patterns that reflect the artistic style prevalent during that era. The vibrant colors - ranging from earthy browns to lush greens - bring life to this sacred space, evoking a sense of tranquility and spirituality. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a period when Catholicism played a significant role in shaping American history. The side altar stands as a testament to the fusion of Spanish and American influences in California's past. Preserved by the National Gallery of Art Washington as part of their Index of American Design collection, this screenprint on paperboard allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our country's diverse cultural tapestry and invites us to explore our shared heritage. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by America's rich history, this print offers a glimpse into an era where religion and art intertwined seamlessly at one of California's most iconic missions.
