EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the early 15th century. The image features a beautifully intricate lettrine of the letter "s" with a miniature scene below it, depicting pagans engaged in the act of venerating their idol. Positioned beneath them are two musicians and a singer, adding to the overall ambiance of this religious artwork. The artwork is found in "De civitate dei" by Saint Augustine and can be seen at the Municipal Bibl. of Rimini in Italy. Created by an unknown artist from the 15th century, this masterpiece captures both the skill and devotion prevalent during that era. The lettrine itself is meticulously crafted, drawing attention to its ornate details and delicate design. The miniature scene below portrays pagans fervently worshipping their idol, offering insight into ancient religious practices. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers glimpses into historical perspectives on religion and spirituality. It reminds us of how art has long been used as a medium for expressing faith and capturing cultural beliefs. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography allows us to appreciate this extraordinary work even more deeply, preserving its beauty for generations to come.
