EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a significant moment in the rich history of Spain during the Reconquista, the long and complex process of Christian re-conquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. The image portrays a battle scene that took place in the year 1062, at the foot of the city walls of Zamora. Christian troops, led by the Palentines, are shown in fierce defense against Saracen attacks. The scene is filled with tension and intensity as soldiers on horseback and on foot engage in hand-to-hand combat, with animals adding to the chaos. In the background, the Church of Saint Antolin in Zamora stands proudly, a symbol of the Christian faith that the soldiers are fighting to protect. The translation of Our Lady of Saint Antolin to Zamora, depicted in the 17th-18th century painting, adds a deeper layer of spiritual significance to the battle. The Reconquista was a defining period in the Middle Ages, marked by the clash of civilizations and the eventual unification of the Iberian Peninsula under Christian rule. This print offers a glimpse into the medieval age, with its knights in armor, cavalry charges, and banners flying high. The scene is a testament to the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought for their faith and their homeland. The print is a stunning example of the artistic talent of the time, capturing the raw emotion and energy of the battlefield. It is a powerful reminder of Spain's complex and fascinating history, and a testament to the enduring spirit of its people.
