EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent main portal of the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza, a true masterpiece crafted by the skilled hands of Benedetto Antelami and his workshop. Dating back to the Romanesque period in Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. , this architectural gem stands as a testament to timeless beauty. The focal point of this remarkable artwork is undoubtedly the intricately carved statues flanking either side of the entrance. Within their niches, we find two iconic figures from biblical lore: David and Ezechiel. These statues not only showcase Antelami's exceptional craftsmanship but also serve as powerful symbols representing different aspects of faith and spirituality. David, known for his bravery as he defeated Goliath with just a slingshot, embodies courage and triumph over adversity. On the other hand, Ezechiel, one of the major prophets in religious history, symbolizes divine revelation and enlightenment. As we gaze upon this image captured around 1915-20 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back to an era where art was inseparable from religion. The Middle Ages were marked by deep devotion to Christianity, evident through such awe-inspiring creations like this cathedral portal. Through its meticulous details and profound symbolism rooted in both Old Testament stories and New Testament teachings, this photograph invites us to contemplate our own spiritual journey while appreciating humanity's artistic achievements throughout history. Let us marvel at how Antelami's vision has endured centuries after its creation—standing proudly amidst Fidenza's landscape—a reminder that great art transcends time itself.
