Spain: A war elephant bearing a castle, fresco from the Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga, Soria, c. 1125

The Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga (Ermita de San Baudelio de Berlanga) is an early 11th-century church at Caltojar in the province of Soria, Spain, 80 km south of Berlanga de Duero. It is an example of Mozarabic architecture and was built in the 11th century, in what was then the frontier between Islamic and Christian lands. It is dedicated to Saint Baudilus or Baudel.<br/><br/>. The hermitage housed many fine Romanesque frescoes from about 1125; most of these have been removed, but some have remained. Two sections, transferred to canvas, are now in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, showing the Entry of Christ into Jerusalem and the Wedding at Cana.<br/><br/>. The paintings were done by the Catalan Master of Tahull (Taüll in Catalan), whose best known works are in Sant Climent de Taüll and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, with two other painters. The frescoes include that of a camel and of a war elephant, which were inspired by Muslim motifs.

Spain: A war elephant bearing a castle, fresco from the Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga, Soria, c. 1125
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La Ermita de San Baudelio de Berlanga (Ermita de San Baudelio de Berlanga) es una iglesia de principios del siglo XI en Caltojar en la provincia de Soria, España, 80 km al sur de Berlanga de Duero. Es un ejemplo de arquitectura mozárabe y fue construido en el siglo XI, en lo que entonces era la frontera entre tierras islámicas y cristianas. Está dedicada a San Baudilo o Baudel.

. La ermita albergaba muchos frescos románicos finos de alrededor de 1125; la mayoría de estos han sido eliminados, pero algunos han permanecido. Dos secciones, transferidas a lienzo, se encuentran ahora en el Museo de Arte de Indianápolis y muestran la Entrada de Cristo en Jerusalén y las Bodas de Caná.

. Las pinturas fueron realizadas por el Maestro Catalán de Tahull (Taüll en catalán), cuyas obras más conocidas se encuentran en Sant Climent de Taüll y el Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya de Barcelona, con otros dos pintores. Los frescos incluyen el de un camello y el de un elefante de guerra, inspirados en motivos musulmanes.
