EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Byzantine urn, believed to house the remains of Archbishop Giovanni V. The urn is prominently displayed within the magnificent Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, located in the environs of Ravenna. Steeped in history and cultural significance, this artwork dates back to the first and second millennium A. D. , specifically around 607-613. The photograph itself was captured between 1915-1920 by Alinari, Fratelli - an esteemed artist known for their ability to immortalize significant works of art. The image beautifully captures every intricate detail of this extraordinary piece. As we delve into its composition, one cannot help but be drawn to the cross that adorns the urn's surface. Symbolizing faith and spirituality, it serves as a powerful reminder of Archbishop Giovanni V's religious devotion. Surrounding the cross are depictions of peacocks and other birds, representing both vertebrates and animals found within nature. The architectural elements surrounding the urn further enhance its grandeur. From decorative friezes to meticulously carved sculptures and columns adorned with palm trees, each element adds depth and richness to this masterpiece. Notably present is an amphora-like object along with a fountain nearby, showcasing additional facets of Byzantine artistry. These objects serve as reminders not only of human craftsmanship but also highlight zoological aspects intertwined with vegetal compositions. Altogether, this print encapsulates centuries-old European Byzantine art at its finest. It invites viewers on a visual journey through time while offering glimpses into ancient traditions and beliefs that have shaped our world today.
