EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Byzantine mosaic depicting the biblical scene of Abraham prostrating himself before three angels. Created in the 12th-13th century, this exquisite artwork is located in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The mosaic showcases the moment when Abraham graciously welcomes and worships the heavenly visitors. The Latin inscription on the artwork reads: "ABRAHAM ANGELOS HOSPITIO SUSCEPIT ET CUM TRES VIDERET UNUM ADORAVIT" emphasizing his reverence for these divine beings. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this Byzantine art form truly come to life in this print by Ghigo Roli. The angels are depicted with ethereal beauty, their wings gracefully spread as they stand before Abraham. This masterpiece not only showcases artistic skill but also conveys a profound religious narrative from the Old Testament. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time of faith and devotion during medieval age Italy. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual roots.
