This print showcases the intricate beauty of the 12th-century mosaic artwork titled "Scenes from the Old Testaments and decoration". Located in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy, this masterpiece is a testament to Byzantine artistry. The Monreale Cathedral itself is an architectural marvel, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Built between 1170 and 1189 by King William II, it boasts a fusion of Norman Arabic influences. Alongside the cathedral stands a Benedictine monastery, two stone towers, and a meticulously carved porch. Stepping inside reveals a breathtaking cloister with a garden adorned by 228 white marble columns featuring intricately designed capitals that narrate biblical episodes. However, it is within the arches of the central nave where one finds true magnificence - monumental golden mosaics depicting scenes from the ancient testament.
