EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable marble sculpture from the 9th century, created by an anonymous Lombard sculptor. The artwork is located in the Abbazia di Farfa, Fara Sabina (Rieti), Italy. The sculpture depicts the symbols of evangelists, known as tetramorphs, which are significant figures in Christian iconography. The intricate carving beautifully captures the essence of these biblical characters. Each evangelist is represented by a different animal: Saint Matthew as a human figure, Saint John as an eagle, Saint Luke as a bull or beef, and Saint Mark as a lion. These symbols hold deep religious meaning and serve to convey their respective roles in spreading the Gospel. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously carved into the marble with precision and skill. It serves as a testament to the talent of Italian artists during this period. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography brings out every nuance and texture of this ancient masterpiece. Through her lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. This print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in both art history and religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation on faith and spirituality through visual expression.
