EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable work of art known as "Pluteus with animals shown in geometric discs" which is meticulously preserved in the Chapel of San Pietro within the Basilica of Aquileia. This stunning bas-relief, dating back to the Lombard Period in the Early Middle Ages, offers a glimpse into Europe's rich artistic heritage from the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph itself was captured between 1920 and 1930 by Alinari, Fratelli, providing us with an invaluable visual record of this extraordinary masterpiece. The artwork features a variety of animals depicted within intricate geometric discs, each representing a different allegory or abstract concept. Birds soar gracefully alongside deer and other terrestrial mammals while fanciful creatures like griffins add an element of enchantment to the composition. Amidst this vibrant tapestry of fauna, one cannot help but notice delicate floral motifs intertwined throughout. These vegetal elements bring forth a sense of life and vitality to the scene, enhancing its overall beauty. It is through such meticulous attention to detail that artists during this period were able to create truly awe-inspiring works that continue to captivate viewers centuries later. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time – immersed in an era where craftsmanship flourished and artistic expression knew no bounds. It serves as a testament not only to human creativity but also our enduring fascination with nature's wonders. Through Alinari's lens, we are granted access to a piece of history that would otherwise remain hidden within the confines of Aquileia's sacred walls. This photograph allows us all to appreciate and celebrate the cultural richness embedded within Europe's past – reminding us that art has always been an essential part of our collective human experience.
