The Seven Fat Cows and the Seven Skinny Cows - A Glimpse into Biblical Symbolism at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the atrium vault of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy. The artwork depicted here is an exquisite mosaic that dates back to the Romanesque period of the Middle Ages, serving as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage during the first and second millennium. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the seven fat cows juxtaposed against their emaciated counterparts - the seven skinny cows. This powerful biblical imagery draws inspiration from Genesis, specifically from Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream about abundance and famine. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable fusion of artistry and spirituality. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcased in this mosaic speak volumes about the craftsmanship prevalent during XIII century Europe. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this moment between terrestrial mammals - cows - highlighting their significance as vertebrates within religious narratives. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only these animals but also their role as symbolic subjects within Old Testament stories. It is worth noting that Alinari Fratelli has skillfully preserved this piece for posterity by capturing it on film sometime between 1920-1930 AD when photography was still evolving as an art form itself. This awe-inspiring print serves as a reminder of how ancient tales continue to inspire generations through visual representations like mosaics found within sacred spaces such as St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. It invites us to reflect upon our own interpretations of divine messages while appreciating the timeless beauty embedded within historical artifacts like these stunning mosaics.
