EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mosaic from the 6th century Byzantine School, titled "Christ surrounded by two angels, St. Vitalis and Bishop Ecclesius". The artwork can be found in the apse of San Vitale, located in Ravenna, Italy. In this remarkable piece, we witness Christ being enveloped by two celestial beings as well as St. Vitalis and Bishop Ecclesius themselves. The composition exudes an aura of divine majesty and serenity. The central focus lies on Jesus who is depicted bestowing a crown of martyrdom upon St. Vitalis - a significant figure from the 3rd century known for his unwavering faith amidst persecution. This act symbolizes recognition and reward for his sacrifice. Flanking Christ are two ethereal angels whose presence adds to the heavenly atmosphere surrounding them all. Their delicate features and graceful postures emphasize their role as messengers between heaven and earth. Bishop Ecclesius stands beside St. Vitalis, offering a model of the basilica he founded - perhaps representing his devotion to God's work on Earth through architectural endeavors. This awe-inspiring mosaic captures both religious fervor and artistic brilliance that characterized Byzantine art during its golden age. Its intricate details convey deep spiritual meaning while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. As we admire this timeless masterpiece captured in print form, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
