EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a painted glass cup and an onyx jug, both adorned with delicate silver rims. These stunning artifacts can be found in the Treasury of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail showcased in these pieces are a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of Byzantine art. Created between the 13th and 15th centuries, they have stood the test of time as remarkable examples of European art from the first and second millenniums A. D. The juxtaposition of vibrant colors on the painted glass cup against the deep hues of the onyx jug creates a visually striking composition that is truly awe-inspiring. The silver rims add an element of elegance and refinement, further enhancing their allure. As you gaze upon this photograph, you are transported back in time to an era where mythology reigned supreme. The scene depicted here draws inspiration from Greco-Roman mythology, infusing it with Byzantine influences. It serves as a reminder that art has always been deeply intertwined with storytelling throughout history. Captured by Alinari Fratelli sometime between 1920-1930, this image not only preserves these magnificent works for posterity but also allows us to appreciate their splendor even today. Whether you are an admirer of ancient art or simply fascinated by historical treasures, this print offers a glimpse into Europe's cultural heritage like no other.
