EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an exquisite Italian work of art from the 11th century, now preserved at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The ivory plaque depicts a powerful representation of the Crucifixion, with the Madonna and St. John the Evangelist positioned beneath the Cross. The intricate details of this low relief bas-relief showcase the remarkable craftsmanship of medieval Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The artwork is believed to have been created using ivory, showcasing its application in applied arts and crafts. In this scene, we witness a soldier holding a lance or spear, symbolizing arms and military equipment commonly associated with armed forces and military life during that era. Surrounding him are angelic figures representing divine intervention within Christ's crucifixion narrative. Both male and female figures are depicted wearing clothing typical of fashion during this period in history. This portrayal emphasizes their roles as key participants in Christian religious iconography. The presence of a book suggests that this artwork draws inspiration from biblical narratives found within the New Testament, specifically focusing on events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. Photographed by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-1930, this image not only showcases an extraordinary piece of historical art but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religion and spirituality throughout different epochs.
