EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and vibrant polychrome tiles adorning the sacristy of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Alatri, Italy. Dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, these Romanesque bas-relief artworks depict various scenes from the lives of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The photograph, taken around 1920-1930, beautifully captures the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these remarkable pieces. The low relief sculptures are a testament to the artistic skill prevalent during Europe's Middle Ages. In this particular image, we see an array of figures representing important moments in biblical history. A horse stands beside a donkey carrying a person believed to be Virgin Mary. Surrounding her are other significant individuals such as Herod, Elizabeth, Archangel Gabriel, and angels. The artwork portrays key events including Annunciation, Nativity, Flight into Egypt, Crucifixion, Adoration of the Magi, Circumcision - all illustrating different aspects of Christ's life on Earth. Not only does this photo offer us a glimpse into medieval European fashion with its depiction of figures dressed in period costumes; it also serves as a visual representation of religious devotion during that time period. Alinari Fratelli captured this awe-inspiring piece with great precision and clarity. Their expertise enables viewers today to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty contained within these sacred walls. This photograph is not just an ordinary snapshot but rather an invaluable documentation preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come.
