Painting Sheer Clothing

Andra Mari

.

.
Often in the study of Romanesque art, we tend to associate cultural syncretism that remained in some parts of the religious world of ancient civilizations, mainly the East, occurring cultural contributions of successive hegemonic empires.

However, little or nothing has been said or written, to our knowledge, the syncretic aspects of English Roman art furnish a culture as ancient as the next, which is the Basque.

understand that your approach has to start from based on the understanding that in the old Basque religion, the supreme goddess was Ama-Lur, Maia also venerated as or Mari.

A deity concerned and involved more than anything, to regulate and assess the standards of acting in life that should be strictly enforced by men as a goddess who valued higher "sin" lying, stealing, pride, boasting, failure to their word, the lack of respect due to individuals and mutual aid.

A God who rewards those who meet these standards of conduct with the reward, once deceased, part of the night and after being guided by the moon, travel a road or path that would lead to the grotto where Mari live with her and all his ancestors, in eternal peace, happiness and abundance, but it was not that the concept that the ancient Basques were in heaven. It ran

Ama-Lur, the Mother Goddess -Law.

From the above, it is safe to infer the current facility to reconcile earned her Judeo-Christian, absorb, this Basque deity ancestors, not only for its conception of the Trinity, but both the similarity standards to act as defending obvious questions of phonetics.
And so today is the day that the Virgin Mary is called in Euskera Andra Mari, Mari Lady.

Then bring three different representations of Andra Mari:
-
,


* N ur Lady of Cabriaza -Salcedo (Alava)
. Size
appears sitting on rustic bench, decorated with individual sets of three openings with horseshoe arches on either side of it, in plain colors bull bars and rows of floral motifs, can be dated in the s. XII, although it is now presented as the result, at least two interventions restauratorias.
.
reflecting the inscrutable face and dress shocking contrasts with the particular sample tenderness and naturalism between her and the Child. Holding it with his left hand, gently stroke it with the right, in the meantime it, crosses her legs and lifts his face to his mother while his right hand, sustained, bless.

.
Both the crown and the head added to extend the fall of the veil and hair, tell us about an alteration of the original produced, probably in the fifteenth century in the Gothic style is international and it gets affect even their original polychrome, however respect the "incarnation" of your cheeks. The boom fervent Marian prayer obtains in the second century of the sixteenth century should be, without doubt, the cause of an adaptation of his right hand in order to be able to promote host, between the index finger and thumb, counting the rosary.
