SUB_aa3_21495

Edición facsimilar del Menologion Bizantino de Oxford, cuyo original se conserva en la Biblioteca Bodleian de Oxford (Ms. Gr.th.f.1). Editado en 2006 por AyN Ediciones. Contiene una serie de miniaturas que retratan la vida de los Santos. Hay una miniatura por cada día del año, empezando desde el 2 de septiembre y terminando el 31 de agosto. Se distribuyen en cada página en grupos de cuatro. El códice contiene también 10 miniaturas a página completa representando la vida de Cristo. El Menologio de Oxford es una pequeña gran joya, única dentro de los manuscritos bizantinos de su género que data del siglo XIV. Pequeña por sus reducidas dimensiones, pero de extraordinario valor por la riqueza ornamental de sus miniaturas y por su singularidad, ya que este códice constituye una excepción dentro de la amplia producción bizantina de libros de temática religiosa. Su originalidad reside en que todo en él está integrado por imágenes enriquecidas con gran cantidad de oro, más de un centenar de miniaturas con cerca de cuatrocientas escenas individuales en sus escasos cincuenta folios, es decir, que el libro es pura imagen, sólo están verbalizados breves epígrafes, indicadores del contenido de las escenas, y el bello poema que sirve de colofón y que condensa la información mínima esencial sobre el libro: programa iconográfico, utilidad espiritual, riqueza ornamental, patrón y propietario. Mucho más que un mero libro piadoso, se trata en realidad, de un objeto personal de devoción y protección espiritual, muy cercano a la función tutelar de una reliquia o un amuleto. Edición limitada a 995 ejemplares. Facsímil del códice original encuadernado en piel de vacuno envejecida sobre madera y estampada en seco, formato 11 x 13,8 cm. 112 páginas bellamente iluminadas que contienen 103 miniaturas enriquecidas con gran cantidad de pan de oro. Textos en griego antiguo. Libro estudio complementario formato 25,5 x 36 cm. Encuadernado en tapa dura tela con sobrecubierta a color, cinta guía. 234 páginas ilustradas, textos en español e inglés.

  • Muz-Martínez: "Threshold of Presence" - Series: Thresholds" (2026)

    Threshold of Presence Series: Thresholds 100x73 Muz-Martínez In Threshold of Presence, Muz-Martínez places us in that suspended instant between the visible and the intangible, where the figure seems to emerge and dissolve simultaneously. The Artwork is constructed from a constant tension between matter and emptiness, between gesture and silence. The face, barely suggested, does not seek to define itself but rather to be implied, as if it belonged to a liminal space where identity has not yet fully revealed itself. The layers of color, applied with a restrained yet firm gestural style, generate an emotional depth that transcends the purely formal. The composition breathes through subtle contrasts and glazes that invite the viewer to approach, to complete the image from their own perception. There is no closed narrative, but an open experience: a journey towards the essential. This Artwork is part of the Thresholds series, where the artist investigates the limits between the figurative and the abstract, proposing spaces for reflection in which presence is not affirmed, but rather intuited.

  • Javier Arizabalo "Guillermo" (2026)

    Javier Arizabalo, born in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, April 1965. The Artwork is an oil painting on polyester. Titled "Guillermo," it measures 73 x 60 cm (height x width) and is in perfect condition. In this Artwork, Javier Arizabalo constructs an image of profound emotional and spiritual intensity, where the human figure emerges from the darkness enveloped in an atmosphere of silence and contemplation. The scene, illuminated only by the faint flame of a candle, evokes the tradition of Baroque chiaroscuro and the great Spanish classical painting, establishing a dialogue between contemporary realism and timeless spirituality. The upward gaze of the figure, full of introspection and contemplation, transforms the composition into a reflection on human fragility, faith, the passage of time, and the inner search. Light acts as a symbolic and structural element, modeling the face and hands with extraordinary technical sensitivity, while the red garments add drama and a powerful emotional charge. In this Artwork, Arizabalo demonstrates an outstanding mastery of anatomy, textures, and lighting, achieving a painting of great narrative power and remarkable technical virtuosity. The result is an image that transcends physical representation to inhabit a profoundly human and universal realm, where emotion and painting merge into a single language. A Artwork of great visual intensity and technical refinement that confirms the artist's ability to renew the realist tradition from a contemporary and deeply poetic perspective. Signed lower right
