EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art, showcasing the relief sculpture of "King Herod on the throne, and the Three Kings" at the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza. Created by Benedetto Antelami during the Romanesque period between 1190-1210, this masterpiece is a testament to his artistic prowess. The image transports us back to medieval Europe, immersing us in its rich history. King Herod sits majestically on his ornate throne, exuding power and authority. His regal presence is juxtaposed with three figures standing before him - The Three Kings or Magi. These wise men from biblical times are depicted with great detail and reverence. Antelami's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this relief sculpture. From the intricate folds of clothing to the expressive faces of each character, he brings life to stone through his masterful craftsmanship. Beyond its artistic value, this artwork also holds significant historical and religious importance. It serves as a visual representation of key figures from Christian scripture while offering insights into societal dynamics during that era. The inclusion of other important men surrounding King Herod hints at political intrigue and social hierarchies prevalent at that time. Photographed by Clari from Studio Fotografico Alinari in February 1964, this print allows us to appreciate not only Antelami's genius but also how art can transcend time and space. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that even after centuries have passed since its creation, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and narrative significance.
