EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of history and artistry, showcasing a print of "David and Matthew" two remarkable Romanesque statues from the 1800s. Preserved within the hallowed walls of the Church of Saint Peter in Consavia, at Asti, these copies pay homage to an era long past. The image transports us back to a time when Europe was immersed in the Middle Ages, during the first and second millennium A. D. The date of this particular artwork dates back to the XIII century, adding even more depth to its historical significance. Intriguingly, both David and Matthew are depicted as prophets through their distinctive headdresses – whether civilian or religious remains unknown. Their presence symbolizes not only their biblical roles but also represents communication itself; they were messengers who conveyed divine messages through writing. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene frozen in time by Alinari Fratelli's lens in 1957, it is impossible not to marvel at every intricate detail. From their meticulously crafted clothing – mantles draped over them with elegance – to their striking facial expressions that seem almost lifelike. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different eras. It reminds us that art has always been a means for people to communicate stories and ideas across generations. It invites us on a journey through time while honoring our collective cultural heritage. Let this image transport you into an age where sculpture was revered as one of humanity's greatest achievements—a visual feast for those captivated by history, religion, fashion, craftsmanship, and above all else - timeless beauty.
