EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble tombstone adorned with intricate depictions of peacocks and griffons, surrounded by an array of lush plant elements. The artwork is situated in the Crypt of the Church of S. Ciriaco, located in the enchanting city of Ancona. Dating back to the XII-XIII centuries, this Romanesque masterpiece represents a remarkable fusion of artistry and symbolism from the Middle Ages. The craftsmanship exhibited on this slab is truly awe-inspiring, reflecting Europe's rich cultural heritage during the first and second millenniums A. D. The elegant portrayal of peacocks symbolizes immortality and resurrection, while griffons - mythical creatures with lion bodies and eagle heads - represent strength and guardianship. Together, these fantastical beings create a harmonious blend between literature, fiction, and religious iconography. Surrounded by flourishing vegetation depicted in meticulous detail, this tombstone evokes a sense of serenity within its sacred surroundings. Each vegetal element or composition tells its own story through delicate carvings that have stood the test of time. Captured around 1930 by Alinari Fratelli - renowned for their exceptional photography skills - this image preserves not only an extraordinary work of art but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind every stroke carved into stone and our shared connection with those who came before us. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation; great works like these continue to inspire wonderment among generations across different eras.
