EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of two Byzantine goblets, masterfully crafted from rock crystal and set in gilded silver. These precious artifacts can be found within the Treasury of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, a city renowned for its rich history and artistic heritage. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , these goblets represent the pinnacle of Byzantine artistry. The intricate details on their surfaces showcase the exceptional skill and craftsmanship of their creators. Each delicate curve and ornate pattern tells a story of ancient civilizations, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The combination of rock crystal and gilded silver creates a striking contrast that further enhances their allure. The translucent quality of the rock crystal allows light to pass through, illuminating every facet with an ethereal glow. The shimmering silver accents add opulence to these already magnificent pieces, elevating them to objects fit for royalty. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Alinari Fratelli between 1920-1930, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor that once graced Byzantium. These goblets not only serve as symbols of wealth but also as testaments to human creativity throughout history. Displayed against a backdrop adorned with other treasures from various eras, these goblets stand out as true gems within St. Mark's Basilica's vast collection. Their presence is a testament to Venice's position as an epicenter for cultural exchange during medieval times. Through this photograph, Alinari Fratelli invites us into his world where art transcends time itself - reminding us that even centuries-old objects can still captivate our imagination today.
