EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the past, showcasing a hunting expedition and an enchanting garden teeming with exotic animals and plants. The image is a close-up of a Norman mosaic adorning the walls of the Sala di Re Ruggero (King Roger's Room) in the Royal Palace, also known as the Norman Palace, located in Palermo. Dating back to around 1170 AD, this stunning artwork reflects the distinctive style of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich history during both the first and second millennia. Intriguingly, this photograph was taken between 1920-1930, capturing not only an ancient masterpiece but also providing us with insight into how it was preserved over centuries. The intricate details are still visible despite its age. The hunting scene depicted in this mosaic transports us to another era when archaic instruments were used for such pursuits. A swan gracefully glides across water while birds soar through the sky above. Vertebrates like peacocks and dogs join terrestrial mammals such as deer in creating an atmosphere that feels alive even within its static form. The surrounding vegetation adds depth to this composition; tall trees stand proudly alongside palm trees, forming a lush backdrop for these remarkable creatures. Every element within this mosaic has been meticulously crafted - from clothing worn by figures representing different periods to each vegetal detail - all contributing to its overall splendor. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this timeless piece of artistry through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. This print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve it for future generations
