EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent mosaic that adorns the façade of the Church of S. Frediano in Lucca. The artwork, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, beautifully depicts the Ascension of Christ. In the upper part of this intricate mosaic, we see a representation of Christ enclosed within an almond shape, carried by two graceful angels. This celestial scene exudes a sense of divine majesty and awe-inspiring power. The craftsmanship is impeccable as every detail is meticulously crafted to convey a profound spiritual message. Moving to the lower portion of this masterpiece, we encounter twelve Apostles standing in reverence below. Each figure is distinctively portrayed with unique gestures and expressions, symbolizing their role as messengers spreading Christ's teachings throughout the world. The Romanesque style prevalent during this period can be observed through various elements such as architectural details and ornamental motifs present in this artwork. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage during the Middle Ages. Captured around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance spanning over several centuries. It offers us glimpses into religious life during different epochs while showcasing how art has been used as a powerful medium for communication and expression throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of both our own mortality and our eternal connection with something greater than ourselves – an allegory that transcends time itself.
