EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Bas-reliefs of Barbarian art that adorn a portico wall in the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria, nestled in the enchanting town of Civita Castellana near Viterbo, Lazio. Dating back to the Lombard Period during the Early Middle Ages, these intricate carvings offer a glimpse into Europe's rich history from the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph, taken between 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli, captures every detail with remarkable clarity. The bas-reliefs depict scenes of hunting and hunters amidst lush vegetation. Mounted on horseback with their loyal dogs by their side, these terrestrial mammals symbolize strength and agility as they engage in this ancient pursuit. In one panel, a fearless hunter confronts a majestic lion while an angelic figure watches over them from above. These masterfully crafted artworks transport us back to an era steeped in literature and fiction where such tales were brought to life through visual representation. The delicate lines etched into stone tell stories of bravery and adventure that have captivated generations. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with our collective human experience. It serves as a testament to our creativity and ability to express ourselves across time and cultures. This photograph is not just a mere documentation; it is an invitation to explore history through artistry—a window into an era long gone but forever preserved within these walls.
