EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a symbolic representation of Christ, titled "Ego sum Alpha et Omega". The artwork is a page taken from the renowned "Book of Hours of Ferdinand I" also known as Fernando I de Leon y Castilla or Fernando Sanchez the Great. Created by an unknown artist in the 12th century, this masterpiece resides in the Biblioteca de la Universidad de Santiago in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The image depicts Jesus Christ with divine authority and power, as indicated by his proclamation: "I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last". This phrase symbolizes Christ's eternal nature and his role as both the beginning and end of all things. The intricate illumination and miniature work on this page exemplify artistic excellence during medieval times. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every detail of this remarkable piece through her lens. Her photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only the religious significance but also the historical value embedded within this ancient book.
