EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of St. Mark's throne, an Oriental cipolin monolith, located in the Treasury of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The artwork itself is a masterpiece of Alexandrian art, showcasing intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. Dating back to the 6th or 7th century AD, this ancient bishop's throne represents not only a physical seat but also serves as a symbol of Oriental art and culture from Asia during the first and second millenniums. Its historical significance cannot be overstated. The composition of the photograph beautifully highlights every aspect of this remarkable piece. The cross, prominently displayed atop the throne, signifies religious devotion while serving as an instrument for spiritual connection. It stands tall against a backdrop that exudes allegory and abstract concepts. Intriguingly, at its base lies a lamb - an animal symbolizing purity and sacrifice - amidst lush vegetation and towering trees that evoke life itself. This juxtaposition creates a sense of harmony between nature and spirituality. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this timeless image sometime between 1920-1930 CA. , preserving both the artistic beauty and historical importance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand the magnificence of oriental artistry intertwined with cultural heritage from centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity across continents throughout history. This photograph by Alinari Fratelli reminds us that art has no boundaries; it transcends time, geography, and even commercial use restrictions – allowing us all to appreciate its profound impact on our lives.
