EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century print depicts the interior of the Saint Peter Nolasco Church in Barcelona, Spain. The church, which is part of the Mercedarian Order, is a remarkable example of Baroque architecture and is renowned for its intricate decoration and beautiful frescoes. At the heart of the church lies the dome, where the frescoes by the French artist Joseph Flaugier come to life. The central image is the Glorification of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by angels and the twelve apostles. The angels, depicted with outstretched wings, pay homage to the exalted Virgin Mary, who is shown in a state of divine glory, surrounded by the Holy Trinity. The frescoes on the pendentives of the dome are equally impressive, featuring scenes of the Order's patron saint, Peter Nolasco, performing acts of mercy and compassion. The retable, or main altarpiece, is also adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements, adding to the overall grandeur of the space. The circular design of the church, with its columns and friezes, creates a sense of harmony and unity, making it a truly breathtaking sight. The print captures the essence of this religious masterpiece, transporting us to a time when art and faith were deeply intertwined, and the beauty of the divine was celebrated through the medium of art.
