EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing print of the "Column with scene of combat" from the church of Saint-Madeleine in Vezelay, France. The column itself is an extraordinary example of Romanesque art, dating back to the first half of the 12th century. The image showcases intricate details carved into the stone column, depicting a fierce battle scene from biblical times. Men clad in armor engage in physical combat, wielding swords with intensity and determination. This artwork serves as a powerful testament to both armed forces and military life during medieval Europe. The men portrayed on this column are not merely warriors; they are also representatives of their society and politics. Their attire reflects the fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that era, providing us with valuable insights into historical costume design. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that violence was an integral part of life during those turbulent times. The presence of weaponry such as swords reminds us how conflict shaped human history throughout the first and second millenniums AD. This print transports us back to 1965 when it was captured by Alinari's lens. It allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a historical artifact documenting centuries-old craftsmanship.
