Romanesque in exile: the scenes of the Healing of the Blind Man and the Resurrection of Lazarus from the scattered mural paintings of San Baudelio in Casillas de Berlanga (Soria), a fragment now exhibited in the Museum
Románico en España.
The iconographic program of Saint Baudelius is religious, interpreted, in some scenes, as representations of everyday life and of real and fantastic fauna. Hunts, falconers and warriors, an elephant, a bear and a dromedary coexist with curtains painted imitating textiles and religious scenes that narrate miracles, temptations, the city of Jerusalem, the worship of the Magi, the Last Supper or the Passion. San Baudelio has been an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1917 in the category of Monument. And together with the hermitage of San Miguel de Gormaz and the Vera Cruz de Maderuelo, it forms the Romanesque pictorial trilogy par excellence of medieval Castile.
Soria, ni te la imaginas.
