Beloved Salvadoran Artist Fernando Llort, Winner Of His Country’s Cultural Prize And Cathedral Mosaicist, Has Died At 69

Llort, whose mosaics on San Salvador’s cathedral marking the end of a major civil war were destroyed by the Catholic Church in a “renovation” (for which the Church later apologized), was mourned by El Salvador’s president on social media: “His charisma, masterful works and affection for our people capture the cultural identity and the development in peace and harmony of our nation.”
