EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning mosaic artwork titled "The four evangelists with the monogram of Christ" created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century. Located in the Cappella Arcivescovile in Ravenna, Italy, this masterpiece depicts the representation of the four evangelists and their respective symbols known as tetramorphs. The central focus is on a chrisme, symbolizing Christ himself. The intricate details of this mosaic are truly remarkable. Each evangelist - Saint Matthew, Saint John, Saint Luke, and Saint Marc - is surrounded by an aureole and accompanied by an angelic figure. The background features a radiant gold hue that adds to its divine aura. The use of animals such as a lion, bull, eagle, and raptor further emphasizes each evangelist's unique symbolism within Christian iconography. This artwork beautifully combines religious elements with artistic mastery. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this ancient artwork through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. The medium age aesthetic portrayed in this photograph transports viewers back to a time when Byzantine art flourished. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and significance behind biblical characters like these evangelists who played crucial roles in spreading Christianity throughout centuries past.
