EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza. The image showcases a remarkable combination of artistic elements, including the Prophet Elijah being taken to heaven with his chariot, San Donnino saving a woman crushed by a collapsed bridge, and a family of poor pilgrims seeking solace. Additionally, the statue of the prophet Ezekiel stands tall as an intricate detail on the portal known as the "Gate of Heaven". The photograph transports us back to the Romanesque era during the Middle Ages in Europe. It serves as a testament to Benedetto Antelami's incredible craftsmanship and his school's dedication to preserving historical art forms. The artwork itself dates back to XII century. The composition is rich with symbolism and references various aspects related to religion, society, politics, and biblical stories from both Old Testament and New Testament. The presence of prophets signifies their significance in Christian beliefs while emphasizing themes such as life, representations of Virgin Mary with child (Madonna and Child), associations between individuals within scenes or crowds. Moreover, this image beautifully incorporates elements inspired by nature through its depiction of vegetation from the vegetable kingdom - showcasing botany at its finest. Furthermore, naval and river structures highlight transportation methods prevalent during that time period. Overall, this photograph provides viewers with an immersive experience into history while appreciating Benedetto Antelami's profound impact on architecture and sculpture during his active years between 1178-1233 AD. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences even today.
