EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a gilded silver diptych in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, located in the enchanting town of Lucera, Apulia. The diptych showcases two distinct scenes that hold immense significance in Christian religion and art history. The left panel portrays Christ enthroned among the evangelists, while the right panel depicts the powerful scene of Crucifixion. Both panels are adorned with intricate details and delicate craftsmanship, reflecting the Gothic style prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. In this mesmerizing artwork from around the 14th century, we witness an array of symbolic elements. The four evangelists - St. John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke - are represented by their respective symbols: eagle, lion, ox, and angel. These figures surround Christ on his majestic throne as they play vital roles in spreading His teachings to humanity. The Crucifixion scene is equally poignant; it portrays Jesus' sacrifice for mankind's salvation at Calvary or Golgotha. The mantle draped over Him signifies His divine authority while emphasizing His suffering on behalf of humanity. As we delve into this profound image captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli photographers from Florence (Italy), we are transported back to a time when religious devotion was intricately woven into every aspect of life. This diptych serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and spiritual contemplation. Through its portrayal of key biblical events intertwined with rich symbolism and meticulous attention to detail – including clothing fashion accessories such as mantles – this artwork invites us to reflect upon our own faith journey while marveling at its timeless beauty within Lucera Cathedral's sacred walls.
