EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tile from The Silver Altar of Saint Johns Treasure, a masterpiece created between 1367 and 1483 by Ser Giovanni, Leonardo di. Housed in the Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Florence, Italy, this tile depicts an awe-inspiring scene of Saint John preaching before Herod. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this artwork. The delicate enamel work combined with the shimmering goldsmith art creates a mesmerizing visual experience. As we zoom in on the detail captured by Ghigo Roli's lens, we see Saint John holding up a motto that reads "Non licet tibi. . . uxorem fratris tui" which translates to "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife". The artist skillfully captures the intensity and passion with which Saint John delivers his message. His powerful presence commands attention as he confronts King Herod fearlessly. This moment frozen in time transports us back to a pivotal event in Christian history. As we admire this piece, it becomes clear that it represents more than just an artistic creation; it embodies religious devotion and storytelling through art. It serves as a reminder of the significant role faith plays in our lives and how art can be used as a medium for spiritual expression. Overall, this print encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to medieval art or religious iconography.
