"Christ of Salardu" Photography art prints and posters by RicardMN Photography

Description:

In the church of Sant Andreu, Salardu, Lleida, Spain, is this romanesque Christ. The majestic sculpture of the Christ of Salardu, the masterpiece of the Erill la Vall workshop, is also believed to have authored the Christ of Mijaran. The piece shows the image of a suffering Christ, with triangular section of the legs and the characteristic features of Romanesque religious iconologies; it dates from the 12th Century.
According to legend, this image of Christ reached Salardu without its cross, having travelled upstream, yet without ever touching the waters of the river Garona until it reached Salardu and stopped on a rock. The village's more daring inhabitants then picked it up and, somewhat surprisingly, this image - which had seemed rather disinclined to remain in other places that it had visited - finally came to stay in the church of Salardu.
