EDITORS COMMENTS
The Portal of the Virgin: A Glimpse into Medieval Life and Devotion This print transports us back in time to the Baptistry of Parma, where Benedetto Antelami's masterpiece, 'The Portal of the Virgin, ' stands as a testament to Romanesque art. Captured between 1915-1920, this image allows us to admire the intricate details of the right detail of the lunette. As we delve into this remarkable artwork, we are immersed in a scene that unfolds before our eyes. The banquet is set with prophets, important men, and even Herod himself. Amongst them stands a figure central to it all – Madonna and Child. This portrayal offers a glimpse into medieval representations of the Virgin's life. Every element within this composition tells its own story. The figures are dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect fashion from that era while surrounded by brier vegetation symbolizing nobility and possessions held dear during those times. Through biblical references from both Old and New Testaments, including scenes depicting John the Baptist's life, Antelami skillfully captures religious devotion prevalent during Europe's Middle Ages. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully preserved this snapshot from history for us to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari Fratelli taken nearly a century ago but showcasing an artwork created centuries earlier (1196-1270), we can't help but marvel at how art transcends time.
