EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from the Altarpiece of the Virgin and St. George, painted by Lluis Borrassa around the turn of the 15th century, offers a glimpse into the military might of the late 14th century. The scene depicts a group of soldiers and cavalry, ready for battle, with their horses rearing and pawing at the ground. The lancers, dressed in armor and wielding long lances, are poised to charge, their reins held tightly in their hands. The intricate details of the soldiers' armor and the horses' coats, as well as the textures of their clothing and the folds of their caparisons, reveal the skill and artistry of Borrassa's brushwork. The Altarpiece of the Virgin and St. George was originally housed in the Convent of St. Francisco in Vilafranca del Penedes, a town in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. This painting is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of medieval Europe, and serves as a reminder of the importance of military power during this period. The horses' powerful forms and the determined expressions of the soldiers convey the energy and intensity of the impending battle, making this detail a striking and evocative representation of the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
