EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the time of Pope Boniface VIII, dating back to the 13th century. The image captures a seal made of lead, commonly referred to as a "bubble" which was utilized to authenticate and secure papal writings. This particular seal is housed in the National Archive in Milan, Italy. The intricately designed seal features two faces that hold great symbolic significance. Representing the apostles Peter and Paul, these figures serve as powerful emblems of early Christianity. Their presence on the seal reinforces its connection to the papacy and underscores its importance in preserving and validating official documents. The craftsmanship exhibited in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Despite being crafted centuries ago by an unknown artist, every detail has been meticulously rendered with precision and care. The delicate lines etched into the lead bring life to each facial feature, capturing both strength and serenity simultaneously. As we gaze upon this extraordinary relic from history, we are transported back in time to an era when faith played a central role in society. It serves as a tangible reminder of the enduring influence of religion throughout human civilization. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography allows us to appreciate this significant artifact up close while also highlighting its historical context within medieval Europe. Through his lens, we can marvel at both the artistic mastery behind this ancient seal and its profound religious symbolism that continues to resonate today.
