Escenas de la vida de Santo Domingo de Guzmán

Abstract

"Escenas de la Vida de Santo Domingo de Guzmán" is a title given to the beautiful work attributed to Pere Nicolau, one of the maximum representatives of the International Gothic in Valencia. This piece of art tells us of Santo Domingos’ symbolic image, created from the hagiographic literature and artistic expressions in the Middle Age, "each one in its language, its treasures and limits, and in them lives its beautifulness, its ability to suggest and allow us dreaming or enjoying ourselves".
