EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the plaster decoration in the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte, also known as Neoniano or Orthodox, located in Ravenna. The high relief Byzantine art depicted here takes us back to Europe's first and second millennium A. D. , immersing us in an era of rich cultural heritage. The intricate design features an array of elements that truly captivate the viewer's attention. Among them are majestic peacocks gracefully spreading their vibrant feathers, symbolizing beauty and immortality. Birds flutter around them, adding a sense of liveliness to the scene. Vertebrates and animals can be spotted throughout the artwork, including deer roaming freely within this terrestrial paradise. Amidst this enchanting display, we encounter a saintly figure—a person deeply connected to Christian religion—standing tall amidst his surroundings. This male Byzantine representation adds a spiritual dimension to the composition while reminding us of the significance of faith during that time period. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this timeless masterpiece through their lens between 1930 and 1938 approximately. Their photographic expertise allows us to appreciate every delicate detail with utmost clarity and precision. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Alinari, we are transported back centuries ago when such breathtaking works adorned sacred spaces across Europe. It serves as a reminder not only of our artistic legacy but also our collective history shaped by religious devotion and cultural exchange.
