EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the mosaic decoration in the Room of King Ruggero at Palazzo dei Normanni in Palermo. Dating back to around 1170, this stunning artwork showcases a scene depicting the hunting of a deer, showcasing the Norman style prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. The image transports us to an era long gone, where we witness a hunter poised with his arch and arrow, ready to embark on his pursuit. The allegory and abstract concept portrayed here symbolize not only the act of hunting but also our primal connection with nature and its creatures. Amidst lush vegetation and towering trees, including palm trees bearing delicious dates, this mosaic masterpiece brings together various elements that represent different aspects of life. From terrestrial mammals like deer to other vertebrates inhabiting this scene, it is a testament to both human existence and wildlife coexisting harmoniously. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable; every tile meticulously placed by skilled artisans from centuries ago. This photograph taken around 1929 allows us to appreciate their craftsmanship even more as it immortalizes their work for generations to come. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured by Anderson from Alinari, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within ancient art but also our own connection with history. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an expression of our humanity – capturing moments frozen in time while telling stories that transcend generations.
