EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the Beatus of Turin, an ancient commentary on the Apocalypse of Beatus of Liebana. Created between the late 11th and early 12th centuries in Girona's scriptorium, this codex on parchment is a testament to the artistic and religious heritage of that time. The focal point of this image is none other than The Ark of the Covenant, surrounded by an air of mystery and reverence. Its intricate details are brought to life with vibrant colors, highlighting its significance as a symbol in both Catholic and Christian traditions. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be drawn into its profound spiritual aura. However, our attention is also captured by another figure - The Beast. This menacing creature stands in stark contrast to the sacredness represented by The Ark. With its fierce expression and monstrous appearance, it serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between good and evil depicted throughout biblical texts. Preserved within Italy's University National Library in Turin, this extraordinary artifact holds immense historical value for scholars and believers alike. Through Santiago Ortega's lens, we are granted a glimpse into this ancient world where religion played such a central role. As we contemplate this photograph print, let us reflect on our own beliefs and how they connect us to those who came before us. May it inspire curiosity about our shared human history while reminding us that faith has always been at the heart of humanity's journey through time.
