EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the Presbytery of the Basilica St. Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Taken around 1930, it captures the essence of this remarkable early Christian artwork that dates back to 526-548 AD. The image showcases the interior of the basilica, highlighting its exquisite architecture and sacred atmosphere. The Presbytery is adorned with intricate furnishings for sacred spaces, including a magnificent altar made from beautiful inlayed marble. This piece exemplifies the mastery of applied arts and crafts during this period. The focal point of the Presbytery is undoubtedly its apse, which features an exedra and tribune. These building elements create a sense of grandeur while providing space for religious ceremonies and gatherings. Every inch is meticulously decorated with mosaic ornamentation, showcasing detailed craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness early Christian art at its finest. The structure itself emanates a profound sense of spirituality as it served as a place where believers gathered to worship. Alinari Fratelli's skillful capture allows us to appreciate every detail within this historic church setting without ever stepping foot inside it ourselves. It serves as a testament not only to Alinari's talent but also to our human ability to create awe-inspiring works that transcend centuries. This print serves as a reminder of Europe's rich cultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect on how art can connect generations across time and space.
