Camino Photo of the Day: Art Nouveau Sacred Heart
The art found throughout the parish church of San Juan Bautista de Obanos is unlike most of what you find in Spain, which tends to be a thick layer of Baroque poured over a base coat of Gothic or Romanesque. This church was built and furnished in the early and mid 1910s, and much of it is informed by Art Nouveau or even early Art Deco. This particular side altar is one of my favourite examples. Some of the other side altars in the church feature Baroque retablos salvaged from earlier churches.
