EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art that tells a story of power, religion, and history. The print showcases the relief of the tympanum of the northern portal at the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza. Created by Benedetto Antelami and his school between 1190 and 1210, this Romanesque masterpiece depicts Charlemagne, Pope Hadrian, and stories from San Donnino. The image transports us back to the Middle Ages in Europe when empires were built and religious figures held immense influence. Charlemagne, known as a great king emperor, stands tall with an air of authority while Pope Hadrian symbolizes the clergy's role in society. Their presence reminds us of the intricate relationship between politics and religion during those times. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, we are drawn to its rich historical context. It serves as a window into ancient populations' lives - Romans who once inhabited these lands centuries ago. The relief offers glimpses into their traditions, beliefs, and societal structures. The photographer behind this stunning shot is Clari from Studio Fotografico Alinari. Captured in April 1956 but showcasing an artwork created centuries earlier, it highlights how art can transcend time itself. This print not only celebrates Benedetto Antelami's artistic genius but also invites us to reflect on our shared human history. It reminds us that even though civilizations rise and fall over millennia – their stories remain etched in stone for future generations to discover anew.
