The Virgin and Child in Majesty and the Adoration of the Magi (1100) is a fresco painting done in the apse of a church in Spain, to remind church-goers that they should remember to continue obeying Christ and his mother – this is Catholic Church so the Virgin Mary is also heavily praised. Given this information one could say that the Romanesque era called for many church-commissioned paintings that often reminded Catholic followers of how inferior they are to Christ and that they should continue to praise him because he’s the only answer they have.
