EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of a Romanesque sculpture titled "Capital representing the three Jews in the fiery furnace". Created between 1115 and 1130, this masterpiece can be found at St. Pierre in Moissac, France. The sculpture depicts a biblical scene from the book of Daniel, where three young Jewish men named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are thrown into a blazing furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar for refusing to worship his golden idol. However, miraculously saved by their faith in God, they emerge unscathed from the flames. The artist's skill is evident in every carefully carved detail of this relief. The expressions on the faces of these brave individuals convey both fear and unwavering determination as they face their imminent doom. The intricately designed flames surrounding them seem to dance with an ethereal glow that adds depth and drama to the composition. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this Romanesque capital but also serves as a testament to religious history and artistic mastery. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the technical skill involved in its creation and its significance within Jewish religious tradition. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this remarkable piece of art through her lens, allowing us to admire it even if we cannot witness it firsthand. Her photography preserves this important cultural artifact for generations to come while showcasing her own talent behind the camera.
