EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tile depicting the biblical figures of "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob". Created by the talented artist Bonanno Pisano in the 12th century, this bronze masterpiece can be found at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The gate itself is signed with pride by Bonanno as "Bonanno civis pisanus" highlighting his craftsmanship and contribution to this stunning artwork. The tile tells a story through its intricate design. At the bottom, five scenes from the Old Testament unfold before our eyes, starting with Adam and Eve. As we move upwards towards the top of the tile, we are greeted with five scenes from the New Testament that culminate in an awe-inspiring depiction of "Christ and Mary in the glory of Paradise". The Duomo di Monreale's Porta di Bonanno Pisano is not only a testament to artistic excellence but also serves as a visual representation of religious history. Its iconographic composition includes seven scenes dedicated to Adam and Eve's story in addition to six pairs of prophets depicted on lower levels. This magnificent piece truly captures both spiritual significance and artistic brilliance. Through this photograph taken by Ghigo Roli, viewers are given an opportunity to appreciate every intricate detail present within this ancient bronze work. It stands as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with religion and art throughout history.
