EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent entrance door of the Church of S. Benedetto in Brindisi. The craftsmanship and artistry evident in this Romanesque masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The door is framed by a meticulously sculpted band adorned with intricate weavings, adding a touch of elegance to its already impressive presence. However, it is the lintel that steals the show, depicting dramatic battle scenes between men and dragons. This portrayal of mythical creatures engaged in combat against brave warriors creates an atmosphere of both wonder and intrigue. Surmounting the lintel is a small niche, providing a focal point for contemplation and reverence. Within this niche lies untold stories waiting to be discovered, inviting visitors to delve deeper into their imagination and explore the mysteries hidden within these ancient walls. Dating back to the 12th century, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to Europe's rich history during the Middle Ages.
