EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Byzantine mosaic titled "Apse: Announcing Angel". Located in the tympanum of the apse at Duomo di Monreale in Sicily, Italy, this masterpiece dates back to the 12th-13th century. The golden background adds a divine radiance to the artwork, emphasizing its religious significance. Crafted by skilled artisans trained at the Byzantine school, this mosaic is a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication. The mosaics adorning the Cathedral were created by both local and Venetian workers over several decades. Their meticulous craftsmanship has resulted in an awe-inspiring display of medieval art that continues to captivate visitors from around the world. The focal point of this particular mosaic is an angelic figure known as "Angelo annunziante" or "Announcing Angel". With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, it portrays an archangel delivering important news - perhaps even announcing Gabriel's role in Christianity's most iconic event, the Annunciation. As you gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Ghigo Roli's lens, you can't help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with religion and our eternal quest for spiritual connection. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic brilliance – a true testament to Byzantine artistry and devotion.
