EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the Lunette in the right portal of the Cathedral of S. Rufino, Assisi. The image transports us back to the Romanesque era, during the Middle Ages in Europe, providing a glimpse into a bygone time. The composition showcases an array of fascinating elements that tell stories from both literature and fiction. At its center stands an evangelist figure, exuding wisdom and authority as they hold a book representing biblical teachings. To their side rests a gentle lamb, symbolizing purity and sacrifice. Surrounding them are various creatures - vertebrates, animals - some real and others fanciful creations born out of imagination. These fantastical beings add an air of mystique to this artwork while also reminding us that creativity knows no bounds. Vegetal elements intertwine with these creatures, forming intricate patterns reminiscent of vegetation found in nature's embrace. A vase sits prominently within this tapestry-like scene, perhaps holding symbolic significance or simply adding aesthetic value. A crest-like emblem takes shape within this composition; it appears like a cross but holds deeper meaning yet to be deciphered. Its presence adds layers to our understanding of this artwork's purpose and historical context. Photographed around 1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the craftsmanship behind such remarkable pieces from centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with human history - reflecting beliefs, values, and cultural expressions across different epochs. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but marvel at how it connects us with our past while igniting curiosity about those who came before us – leaving their mark on cathedrals like S. Rufino in Assisi for generations to come.
