EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Ramon Berenguer III, also known as Ramon Berenguer the Great, nails the flag of Barcelona in the tower of Fos castle. Painted by Mariano Fortuny in 1856-1857, this oil on canvas artwork beautifully depicts a significant event from the 12th century. Ramon Berenguer III was a prominent count during the Middle Ages and played a crucial role in shaping Catalonia's history. In this painting, he stands tall and proud, dressed in vibrant clothing that reflects his status and power. The artist skillfully portrays every detail of his attire, showcasing intricate fabric patterns and rich colors. The confrontation between Ramon Berenguer III and an unseen adversary is hinted at through their absence but felt through the tension captured within this vertical composition. This piece not only symbolizes military strength but also represents Catalan pride and identity. The tower of Fos castle serves as a backdrop to this historical moment, emphasizing its significance as a stronghold for Catalonia's defense against external threats. The flag of Barcelona being nailed into place signifies unity among its people under Ramon Berenguer III's leadership. Displayed at the Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Santiago Ortega's remarkable work transports viewers back to an era where bravery and loyalty were paramount values. It serves as a reminder of Spain's rich heritage while celebrating Catalonia's unique cultural legacy.
