EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning interior of the Monreale Cathedral in Sicily, Italy. Built between 1170 and 1189, this architectural masterpiece is inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List for its historical significance. The cathedral, with its Norman Arabic design, was founded by King William II and features a Benedictine monastery, two stone towers, and a beautifully carved porch. Inside the cathedral lies a tranquil cloister adorned with 228 white marble columns, each topped with intricately designed capitals that depict biblical episodes. As you wander through this serene space, you are transported back in time as these ancient stories come to life before your eyes. However, it is the arches of the central nave that truly steal the show. Monumental and complex golden mosaics grace these arches, narrating episodes from the ancient testament. Each mosaic panel tells a story through vibrant colors and intricate details that have stood the test of time. Photographer Giulio Azzarello has expertly captured this awe-inspiring sight in his print. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also feel a sense of reverence for centuries-old craftsmanship preserved within these walls. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to marvel at human creativity throughout history.
