EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate mosaics adorning the ceiling of the Duomo in Monreale, Sicily. Created by Byzantine artists in the 12th century, these stunning artworks depict scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The Duomo itself is a masterpiece of Norman Arabic architecture and holds significant historical importance. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this cathedral was built between 1170 and 1189 under the patronage of King William II. It also encompasses a Benedictine monastery, two stone towers, and an intricately carved porch. Inside, visitors are greeted by a cloister with a beautiful garden adorned with 228 white marble columns featuring biblical episodes on their capitals. However, it is within the arches of the central nave that one finds truly awe-inspiring golden mosaics depicting episodes from the ancient testament. These monumental and complex works narrate stories from biblical times with remarkable artistry and detail. The photograph captured by Giulio Azzarello allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of this architectural marvel but also highlights its cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us to centuries-old narratives that continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
