EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning altarpiece, created by the Spanish painter Jose Luzan (1710-1785), showcases the revered Catholic figures St. Anthony of Padua, St. Seraphim of Ascoli, and Blessed Bernardo de Corte in the Church of Our Lady the Virgin of the Olive (Nuestra Senora la Virgen de la Oliva) in Ejea de los Caballeros, Aragon, Spain. The artwork, dated 1781, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region during the 18th century. St. Anthony of Padua, a Franciscan friar and Doctor of the Church, is depicted with the infant Jesus in his arms, symbolizing his role as protector and caregiver. St. Seraphim of Ascoli, also a Franciscan, is shown with his traditional attributes, including a seraphim and a book. Blessed Bernardo de Corte, a Minor Franciscan friar, is represented with a monstrance and a cross, symbolizing his devotion to the Eucharist. The altarpiece is adorned with angels and intricate details, reflecting the artistic skill and dedication of Jose Luzan. The Franciscan orders, known for their religious devotion and commitment to the poor, played a significant role in the spread of the Catholic faith throughout Europe during the Middle Ages and beyond. This artwork serves as a reminder of their enduring impact and influence. The Church of Our Lady the Virgin of the Olive in Ejea de los Caballeros is a sanctuary and a place of pilgrimage, attracting visitors from around the world who seek spiritual enrichment and a deeper connection with their faith. This altarpiece, with its beautiful and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic and religious heritage of Aragon, Spain.
