EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Balustrade of the Chapel of Relics, located within the historic Church of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna. The balustrade, a masterpiece of Byzantine art, stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage from the first and second millennium A. D. Captured between 1915-1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, this photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient marble object. The balustrade features an array of symbolic elements that evoke both religious and allegorical meanings. At its center is a cross, representing faith and spirituality. Surrounding it are mesmerizing depictions of peacocks - birds known for their regal beauty and symbolism in various cultures throughout history. These vertebrates symbolize immortality and resurrection. The frieze adorned with grape vines further adds to the visual richness of this artwork. Grapes represent abundance and fertility while leaves signify growth and renewal. This vegetal composition seamlessly blends with architectural elements such as briers, creating a harmonious fusion between nature and man-made structures. Byzantine style permeates every inch of this masterpiece; its influence evident in every delicate curve and ornate detail. As one gazes upon this photo print, they are transported back in time to witness the magnificence that once graced these sacred walls. Through Alinari's lens, we are given a glimpse into history - an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also marvel at how these creations have endured through centuries. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time itself.
