The Expulsion from the Earthly Paradise
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating Byzantine mosaic that transports viewers back to the 12th-13th century. This intricate artwork, found in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) of Monreale, Sicily, Italy, depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament - Adam and Eve being banished from paradise. The mosaic showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Latin inscription accompanying the scene reads: "HIC EXPULIT ADAM ET EVAM DE PARADISO DEUS ET POSUIT CHERUBINUM CUSTODEM CUM FLAMMEO GLADIO" which translates to "Here God expelled Adam and Eve from paradise and placed cherubim as guardians with flaming swords". The presence of angels, seraphs, and cherubim adds an ethereal quality to this biblical narrative. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece captured by Ghigo Roli's lens, we are reminded of humanity's fallibility and our eternal longing for redemption. The vivid colors and meticulous details transport us into a world where myth intertwines with faith. This print serves as a window into history - it allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance of Byzantine mosaics but also their significance in religious storytelling. It invites contemplation on themes such as original sin, heaven versus earth, temptation, and divine punishment. Ghigo Roli's photograph preserves this timeless artwork for generations to come. It reminds us that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe through their beauty and profound narratives.
