EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of three Oriental phials, which are housed in the prestigious Treasury of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. These ancient artifacts provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and artistic mastery of Asia during the first and second millennium A. D. The delicate craftsmanship and intricate details of these phials are truly awe-inspiring. Each one is meticulously adorned with ornate patterns and motifs, reflecting the opulence and sophistication prevalent during that era. The vibrant colors used in their creation further enhance their allure, transporting viewers to a bygone era filled with mystique. Dating back to the XIII-XV centuries, these phials have stood the test of time as remarkable examples of Oriental art and culture. They serve as tangible links to an era when trade routes connected East and West, fostering cultural exchange between different civilizations. Photographed between 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli, this image captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of wonder about their historical significance. It invites us to ponder upon the stories behind these precious objects - who owned them? How did they come to be part of St. Mark's Basilica's treasury? As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded that art transcends time and space; it allows us to connect with our shared human history across continents. This visual masterpiece serves as a testament to both Alinari's skillful lensmanship and his dedication towards preserving invaluable relics for generations to come.
