EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of Saint John preaching before Herod, as depicted on a tile from The Silver Altar of Saint Johns Treasure. Created by the skilled hands of Ser Giovanni and Leonardo di Ser Giovanni in the 14th century, this masterpiece can be found at the Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Florence, Tuscany. In this intricate artwork, Saint John stands tall and confident as he delivers his sermon to King Herod. Holding up a motto that reads "Non licet tibi. . . uxorem fratris tui" (It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife), his words carry immense weight and significance. Every detail on this tile reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of goldsmith artistry and enamel work. The Silver Altar itself is a testament to the devotion and skill of its creators. It serves as both an altar and a treasure chest, adorned with precious jewels that add an ethereal glow to its surroundings. This piece exemplifies the fusion of religious symbolism with artistic excellence. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment in Christian history. The profound expressions on each figure's face evoke emotions ranging from curiosity to contemplation. Through their artistry, Ghigo Roli has enabled us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the spiritual significance behind this remarkable piece of religious art.
