EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant religious figure from the Old Testament, Melchizedek. Believed to be a prophet and king of Salem (Jerusalem) during the time of Abraham, his story is found in Genesis, Chapter XIV, verse 18. The image is captured on the back of the predella of an exquisite altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Created in 1455 and originating from the monastery church of Santa Maria de Ripoll in Spain's Catalonia region, this piece holds immense historical and cultural value. The photograph beautifully captures Melchizedek's portrayal with vibrant colors that bring life to his character. Standing tall and regal, he represents an important link between religion and royalty during ancient times. This depiction serves as a testament to the significance placed upon faith and divine authority within society. Preserved within the Episcopal Museum in Vic, this artwork by Santiago Ortega offers viewers a glimpse into centuries-old beliefs and traditions. Its vertical composition adds grandeur while emphasizing Melchizedek's elevated status among other personages depicted on this altarpiece. As we admire this remarkable photo print, let us reflect upon its rich symbolism and appreciate how it connects us with our spiritual heritage.
