EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Byzantine mosaic from the 12th-13th century, depicting the moment when God commands Noah to construct the Ark. The artwork is located in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) of Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The intricate mosaic captures the essence of this significant biblical event with its vibrant colors and meticulous details. In Latin inscription, it reads "PRAECEPIT DOMINUS AD NOE DICENS FAC TIBI ARCAM DE LIGNIS LEVIGATIS" which translates to "God orders Noah to build the Ark with smooth wooden planks". The image transports viewers back in time as they witness Noah receiving divine instructions from God himself. The artist's skillful use of Byzantine art techniques brings life to each figure depicted in this ancient scene. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the Old Testament story of Noah and his obedience to God's command amidst skepticism from others. It serves as a testament to faith and perseverance during challenging times. This photograph not only preserves an important piece of religious history but also highlights the beauty and significance of Byzantine art. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and reminds us that even in moments of doubt or uncertainty, there is always hope for salvation.
