EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a Byzantine bas-relief found within the Church of S. Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. The artwork depicts a cross adorned with two majestic peacocks on its arms, symbolizing an allegory and abstract concept. Dating back to the late Byzantine period, this low relief showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the era. The image showcases a slab or plate-like structure that is intricately carved with meticulous detail. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of these magnificent birds, emphasizing their vibrant plumage and graceful form. As vertebrates and animals, peacocks have long been associated with symbolism in various cultures throughout history. The bas-relief not only highlights the beauty of these creatures but also incorporates elements of vegetation and floral motifs surrounding them. This inclusion adds depth to the composition while representing nature's harmony within religious art. Dating back to the 13th-15th centuries AD, this work exemplifies Byzantine art from Europe during both first and second millennia. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also as an instrument for conveying religious messages prevalent during that time. Captured around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, this photograph serves as a testament to preserving historical artworks through visual documentation. It allows us to appreciate and study ancient masterpieces like this Byzantine bas-relief even today.
