El Diablo en la Iglesia * by Doris Baillet

La iglesia-fortaleza de Nuestra Señora de Tobed es el mejor ejemplo del estilo mudéjar-aragonés. Data del siglo XIV.
Ese Diablo es original de aquella época y fue pintado por un artesano musulmán "convertido". Es pequeño y difícil de ver.


other sizes: small medium original auto

I would like to stop the Spanish/English debate. As I said in my announcement, the intention here is to express the message with the image and that is why STF can be such a great international community. Just because some words were added, I tried to interpret them with my knowledge of other foreign languages (Spanish is not one of them and English is not my native one). Doris, or anybody else, is free to use her own language, like others are free to ask for translation into English to help understanding. Thanks to Zoomboy for providing the translation. PEACE, PLEASE. Willem

"This ad's target audience are the Spanish speakers from the STF forum"

I guess I didn't get that part.

Hey you English speakers, maybe is time to learn some Spanish! Why does she have to provide a translation? A good designed ad has a specific audience, according to the target market for the product or service. This ad's target audience are the Spanish speakers from the STF forum. I think is a great ad and a beautiful picture. Congratulations Doris! And for those who really need help, here is a translation: "The fortified church Nuestra Senora de Tobed (Our Lady of Tobed)is the best example of the mudejar-aragonez style. The church dates back to the XIV century. The Devil picture was painted during the same period by a "converted" muslim painter. It is small and difficult to be observed". English or Spanish is not my native language. ZoomBoy

Doris, I have to agree with the others. We do have an International community at STF and I've been enjoying it a great deal. The thing is, it takes me so long to even view an image (I'm on dialup) that it would be rare for me to take the time to go find a website that will give me a translation. My inclination is to just shrug and move on to the next image. Since this is a challenge where words might "make or break" an entry and since English seems to be the language common to everyone, maybe you could add the translations to the description details of your entries. I love your work and don't want to miss any part of it.

Hi Doris, I hope our requests for English are not offending you. It's actually wonderful to have an international community like STF with participants like you who and Willem who enrich us with your photography. It's just a practical suggestion since English is probably spoken by most of STF, but not Spanish. That doesn't mean the original ad shouldn't be a non-English ad; in fact, that's wonderful. While your photography usually speaks for itself, in the case of this challenge theme, some translation is desirable for us English-speaking blokes to get the gist of your advertisement. Thanks.

This is Spanish ? With some background of Latin and French, I understand this is a very old original painting of the devil in a very old church. Correct ? So an advertisement to visit this historical place. That will work, but for a very small audience. It might be better to advertise with a picture of the building and then mention the existence of the devil painting, so people still have to come there if they want to see it. Willem
