EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a carved capital depicting "The death of Cain" in the Romanesque style. The artwork is located in the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Vezelay, France, and dates back to the 12th century. Known as "La mort de Cain Chapiteau" this intricate carving adorns the Abbey of la Madaleine or Basilica of St Mary Magdalene. The image captures the moment when Cain meets his tragic fate after committing fratricide against his brother Abel. The detailed craftsmanship brings this biblical story to life, with every line and curve telling a tale of remorse and divine punishment. Located in Yonne, Burgundy, this historic piece reflects both religious significance and artistic excellence. Its presence within the church adds an extra layer of spirituality to its already profound message. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every nuance and texture through her lens. Her photography allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical value that lies within this medium age masterpiece. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment from biblical history while marveling at the talent and dedication it took to create such an awe-inspiring work of art.
