EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the awe-inspiring interior of the Cathedral of Monreale in Palermo. Taken around 1900, this image beautifully captures the grandeur and magnificence of this Norman-style cathedral that dates back to the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are immediately drawn to the exquisite altar at the center, adorned with intricate furnishings for sacred spaces. The marble balustrade adds a touch of elegance while various objects and applied arts and crafts enhance its beauty. The architecture is truly remarkable, with arches stretching towards the heavens and building elements showcasing meticulous craftsmanship. The apse, exedra, tribune, columns, floor, nave - every corner tells a story of devotion and faith. Above us stretches a breathtaking ceiling adorned with mosaic ornamentation that depicts scenes from biblical narratives. It is as if these trusses hold up not only the physical structure but also our spirits as we stand in reverence within this holy place. Intricate sculptures depicting figures such as angels surround us; their presence reminding us of God's grace and protection. Among them stands a figure representing Madonna and Child – an embodiment of love and compassion. This work by Brogi from Alinari allows us to immerse ourselves in history – it takes us on a journey through centuries past where religion played an integral role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, structures like these continue to inspire awe and wonderment today.
