EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing scene inside the Room of King Roger, located in the Royal Palace (or of the Normans) in Palermo. The focal point of this Norman mosaic is two majestic peacocks gracefully facing each other, their vibrant plumage creating a stunning display of colors. Positioned next to them is a delicate shoot, symbolizing new life and growth. The intricate details and craftsmanship showcased in this artwork transport us back to the Middle Ages in Europe. Created around 1170 AD, this mosaic exemplifies the exquisite Norman style prevalent during that era. Its historical significance becomes even more apparent when considering its age - over 800 years old! As we delve into this image further, we are reminded of the architectural marvels present within the Room of King Roger. The arch framing these magnificent birds adds an element of grandeur to their presence while also serving as a testament to the skilled builders who constructed it. Nature intertwines with artistry as floral elements adorn this mosaic masterpiece. Delicate flowers and leaves add depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its overall beauty. This remarkable photograph was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, allowing us a glimpse into history through his lens. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also highlights how art can transcend time and continue to captivate generations.
