EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of a Byzantine fresco painting titled "Christ in Majesty surrounded by four angels". Created between the 11th and 14th centuries, this masterpiece adorns the ceiling of the Church of Saint Sofia in Ohrid, Macedonia. The photograph, taken by eRaffaello Bencini and now out of copyright, allows us to marvel at its intricate details. In this scene, Jesus Christ is depicted as the central figure, exuding divine majesty and radiance. He is encompassed by four ethereal angels who float gracefully around him. The celestial beings appear to be carrying Him on their shoulders as they bask in His glory. The mural showcases elements commonly found in Eastern Orthodox art: circles representing heavenly realms and spheres symbolizing spiritual perfection. This medieval artwork beautifully illustrates the Macedonian Orthodox tradition prevalent during that time. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring forth a sense of transcendence and spirituality that transcends time. Every stroke seems to breathe life into Christ's majestic presence while evoking a profound reverence within viewers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by A&Raffaello Bencini, we are transported back through centuries to witness an extraordinary moment frozen in time – a testament to human creativity and devotion towards capturing divinity on canvas.
