EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Byzantine art: the chair of the eveque of Ravenna Maximien, an episcopal throne. Created by the skilled artisans of the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this exquisite work is now housed in the Museo Arcivescovile in Ravenna, Italy. The chair, made from inlaid wood and ivory, belonged to Bishop Maximian (546-554) and served as his seat within the cathedral. Its intricate design reflects both religious symbolism and artistic mastery. The delicate carvings on its surface depict scenes from Paleochristian sculpture, transporting us back to a time when faith played a central role in society. With its rich history and cultural significance, this piece stands as a testament to the power and influence of religion during medieval times. It represents not only an important artifact but also serves as a window into an era characterized by empires and religious orders. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography captures every detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate both the grandeur of this masterpiece and its historical context. Through her lens, we are transported to another time—a time when art was not just decorative but held deep spiritual meaning. As we admire this photograph print, let us reflect on how art has always been intertwined with human expression throughout history—serving as a bridge between past civilizations and our present understanding.
