EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Byzantine mosaic known as "The original sin" from the Old Testament cycle-Earthly Paradise. Created in the 12th-13th century, this masterpiece can be found in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) of Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The intricate mosaic depicts the biblical scene of Adam and Eve's fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. The Latin inscription reads: "MULIER SUGGESTIONI SERPENTIS TULIT DE FRUCTU ET COMEDIT DEDITQUE VIRO SUO" which translates to "The woman took from the serpent's suggestion, ate its fruit, and gave it to her husband". In this artwork, we see Eve holding an apple while a serpent coils around her arm. The lush greenery surrounding them represents the earthly paradise they once inhabited before succumbing to temptation. This symbolic portrayal captures both the beauty and tragedy of humanity's first disobedience. Ghigo Roli expertly captures every detail of this Byzantine mosaic through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic mastery. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship transport us back in time to witness this pivotal moment in religious history. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of our own human frailty and our eternal quest for redemption. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst our flaws and mistakes, there is always hope for forgiveness and spiritual growth.
