EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Norman Art in Monreale, Sicily. The focal point of the image is a set of intricately carved capitals found in the Cloitre des Benedictins within the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) of Monreale. Created by an unknown artist during the 12th century, these capitals are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of their time. The photograph, captured by Leonard de Selva, beautifully captures every detail of these remarkable works of art. Each capital features delicate carvings that depict scenes from religious narratives and symbolize various aspects of faith. The precision and attention to detail displayed in this artwork are truly awe-inspiring. Located within an abbey, these capitals hold great significance for both religious and architectural purposes. They serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage present in Sicily. The Norman influence on this particular style can be seen through its unique blend of Italian and French artistic elements. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insight into Norman Art's impact on Sicilian architecture during that period. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to marvel at past achievements while acknowledging their lasting legacy today.
