EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tile depicting "The Expulsion from the Paradise" a scene from the Old Testament. Created by Bonanno Pisano in 1185-86, this bronze masterpiece can be found at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The intricately designed gate is signed with pride by "Bonanno civis pisanus" highlighting the artist's origins and craftsmanship. The tile itself features five scenes from the Old Testament at its base, starting with Adam and Eve. Moving upwards, it transitions into five scenes from the New Testament, culminating in an awe-inspiring depiction of "Christ and Mary in the glory of Paradise". The Duomo di Monreale's Porta di Bonanno Pisano is renowned for its exquisite formella bronzea or bronze relief work. This particular panel captures "La Cacciata dal Paradiso Terrestre" or "The Expulsion from Paradise". Symbolically significant and visually stunning, this scene represents humanity's fall from grace. Iconographically organized into ten distinct sections across two tiers, this artwork tells a powerful story through its intricate details and masterful execution. From Adam and Eve's expulsion to Christ and Mary's heavenly reunion, each panel invites contemplation on themes of sin, redemption, and divine grace. Photographed by Ghigo Roli with great skill and precision, this image allows viewers to appreciate both the artistry of Bonanno Pisano as well as capture a glimpse of history frozen in time within one breathtaking frame.
