EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent right portal of the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Civita Castellana, located in the province of Viterbo. The intricate mosaic decoration adorning this architectural masterpiece is attributed to the skilled hands of Iacopo di Lorenzo, a renowned artist from that era. Captured between 1920 and 1930, this photograph transports us back to the Romanesque period of Europe's Middle Ages. It offers a glimpse into a time when artistry and craftsmanship flourished, leaving behind lasting legacies for generations to come. The scene depicted within this artwork is truly mesmerizing. A person dressed in medieval attire stands before an open book, engrossed in writing with an instrument that speaks volumes about communication during that era. This image evokes a sense of reverence and contemplation as it captures not only the fashion and clothing style prevalent at that time but also highlights their significance as accessories. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, we cannot overlook its religious undertones. Catholicism played a pivotal role during the Middle Ages, shaping societies across Europe. Here we witness a benediction scene featuring Jesus Christ and his child adorned with mantles or cloaks symbolizing their divine presence. Dating back to approximately 1210 AD, Iacopo di Lorenzo's work continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to human creativity throughout both the first and second millenniums. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this momentous artwork through their lens, preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate. With every glance at this photo print, one can't help but marvel at how history intertwines with artistry on such grand scales.
