EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning altarpiece, created between 1411 and 1412, showcases the artistic mastery of Lluís Borrassà (1360-1425), a renowned Catalan painter of the International Gothic period. The work, titled "Altarpiece of Saint Peter," is housed in the Church of St. Mary in Terrassa, Spain. The vertical composition of the piece is dominated by an upright image of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by a group of people in various stages of prayer and adoration. Mary, depicted in rich colors and intricate detail, is shown with her hands in a traditional pose of blessing, while her son, Saint Peter, stands before her, holding the keys to the heavens. The altarpiece is a testament to Borrassà's skillful use of tempera on wood, a technique that allowed him to create a vibrant and textured image. The interior scene is filled with a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to explore the intricacies of the composition. The International Gothic style is characterized by its emphasis on realism and naturalism, and Borrassà's work is no exception. The people in the scene are depicted with individualized features and expressions, adding to the overall sense of realism and human connection. The Altarpiece of Saint Peter is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an important historical artifact, reflecting the religious and artistic traditions of medieval Spain. Its preservation in the Church of St. Mary ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate the artistic vision and skill of Lluís Borrassà.
