EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of two significant events in Christian history - "The baptism of Christ" and "The Last Supper". The image showcases small enamel plaques from the renowned Pala d'Oro, housed within the majestic St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. In this remarkable artwork dating back to the 11th-13th centuries, we witness a momentous scene unfold. At the forefront stands Jesus Christ, his serene figure immersed in water as John the Baptist pours it over him. The presence of Virgin Mary and a host of apostles surrounding them adds to the sacredness of this event. An angel hovers above, watching over this pivotal moment in Christ's life. Adjacent to this depiction is another plaque showcasing "The Last Supper" where Jesus shares his final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. This poignant portrayal captures each apostle engaged in deep conversation while Jesus sits at the center, imparting wisdom and love. Through Alinari's lens, these exquisite Byzantine art pieces come alive once again during Europe's first and second millenniums AD. The intricate details on each plaque showcase masterful craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1920-1930 ca. , we are transported back through history to witness these iconic moments firsthand. It serves as a testament to both faith and artistic brilliance that have shaped our understanding of Christianity for centuries. Alinari Fratelli beautifully encapsulates not only religious devotion but also cultural heritage within their photography collection. This particular piece invites us into an ethereal realm where spirituality intertwines with human existence – an enduring reminder of how art can transcend time itself.
