EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Ma daba mosaic map, depicting The City of Jerusalem and its surrounding area. Created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this intricate mosaic formed the floor of an ancient church in Ma daba, Jordan. The level of craftsmanship exhibited in this artwork is truly remarkable. Every tiny tile meticulously placed to form a stunning town plan that extended from Byblos to Thebes. This historical map provides us with invaluable insights into the geography and layout of these ancient cities. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the Church of Saint George located in Ma daba itself. A symbol of early Christianity, it stands as a testament to centuries gone by. Discovered in 1884, this pavement treasure has managed to withstand the test of time and remains an important artifact today. Its significance lies not only in its cartographic representation but also through various Greek inscriptions found within its borders. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire and appreciate this extraordinary piece without any copyright restrictions. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us on a journey back through history - where art meets cartography and spirituality intertwines with human ingenuity.
