EDITORS COMMENTS
This ivory plaque, titled "The Journey to Bethlehem" transports viewers back in time to the 12th century. Crafted during the Romanesque period, this exquisite piece showcases a biblical scene from the New Testament - Mary and Joseph's pilgrimage to Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus. Within an intricately designed architectural frame, we witness Mary and Joseph accompanied by one of Joseph's sons from a previous marriage. The composition beautifully blends elements from different cultures - Byzantine decorative motifs like acanthus leaf column capitals merge seamlessly with Islamic architectural influences, particularly evident in the rounded arches. This masterpiece hails from Amalfi, a thriving merchant town near Naples in Southern Italy. Known for its prosperity and cultural exchange, Amalfi became a hub for artistic production that harmoniously combined Byzantine, Islamic, and Western iconographic elements. Measuring at just over 16 centimeters tall and adorned with delicate details carved into ivory, this plaque is truly remarkable. It serves as both a religious artifact and an artistic testament to the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. Now housed within the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this print captures every intricate detail of "The Journey to Bethlehem". Its depiction of faith intertwined with cultural influences continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
