Among the 12 disciples of Jesus, perhaps none has inspired more
magnificent art-as well as political upheaval-than Saint James the
Greater. Portrayed in the New Testament as part of Jesus' inner
circle, he was the first apostle to be martyred. Eight centuries
later, Saint James, or Santiago, become the de facto patron saint
of Spain, believed to be a supernatural warrior who led victorious
Christian armies during the Iberian Reconquista. After 1492, the
Santiago cult found its way to the New World, where it continued to
exert influence. Today, he remains the patron saint of pilgrims to
the shrine of Santiago de Compostela. His legacy has bequeathed a
magnificent tradition of Western art over nearly two millennia.
