EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the lower basin of the Fontana Maggiore in Piazza Novembre, Perugia. The image showcases two horsemen, intricately carved into a bas-relief, representing the months of the year along with their respective zodiac signs. The artwork itself dates back to 1275-1277 and is credited to renowned artists Giovanni Pisano and Nicola Pisano. Their masterful craftsmanship is evident in every delicate stroke that brings this Gothic masterpiece to life. As we delve deeper into this composition, we are transported back to the Middle Ages in Europe. The horses stand tall as terrestrial mammals, symbolizing strength and power while embodying an allegory for time itself. These majestic creatures serve as a reminder of our connection with nature and its influence on our lives. Each knight represents a specific month, allowing us to contemplate the passing of time through this intricate representation. This visual narrative invites us to reflect upon how different seasons affect our existence and shape our experiences. The presence of Christian symbolism adds another layer of meaning to this artwork. It reminds us that even during medieval times, religion played an integral role in people's lives and influenced their perception of time. Alinari Fratelli's photograph from 1920-1930 perfectly captures all these elements - from the abstract concepts represented by zodiac signs to the detailed rendering of horses' anatomy - showcasing both technical skill and artistic vision. This remarkable piece serves as a testament not only to historical artistry but also as a timeless exploration into humanity's fascination with timekeeping throughout centuries past – truly bridging First and Second Millennium A. D. , inviting contemplation on what has been lost or gained over those years gone by.
