EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a French frieze from the 12th century, depicting the biblical event known as the flight into Egypt. The intricate artwork is believed to be part of the west portal of Abbey-church of St Pierre in Mossaic, located in Tarn et Garonne, France. The scene depicted in this fragment captures the profound moment when Mary and Joseph escape with baby Jesus to Egypt to avoid King Herod's wrath. The artist masterfully conveys their journey through vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back in time and immersed in the rich history of Christianity. This piece not only represents religious devotion but also reflects the artistic brilliance that flourished during medieval times. The photograph has been skillfully captured by CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), who has expertly preserved every nuance and hue present on this ancient frieze. Through his lens, we can appreciate every brushstroke and admire how each element contributes to telling this timeless story. This print serves as a testament to our collective heritage—a tangible link connecting us with centuries past. It invites us to explore deeper into our spiritual roots while marveling at the ingenuity and creativity displayed by those who came before us.
