The photograph was taken around 1920-1930, capturing a timeless masterpiece that dates back to approximately 1143. The intricate Byzantine-style artwork depicts the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ on Mount Tabor, an event described in the New Testament of the Bible. The scene portrays Jesus standing between Moses and Elijah while surrounded by a radiant light. This significant moment symbolizes his divine nature and serves as a pivotal point in his life. The vibrant colors and meticulous details showcased in this mosaic exemplify Byzantine art at its finest. Every tile meticulously placed to create a harmonious composition that mesmerizes viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. The Palazzo dei Normanni's Palatine Chapel provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for this extraordinary artwork. Its grandeur and historical significance make it one of Europe's most remarkable architectural treasures from both the first and second millenniums A. D. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this image, preserving not only the physical representation but also conveying a sense of reverence towards this sacred subject matter.

This print is more than just an exquisite piece; it represents cultural heritage, religious devotion, and human creativity spanning centuries. It invites us to appreciate not only its visual splendor but also ponder upon deeper spiritual meanings embedded within its symbolism – truly a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with transcendent beauty.
