EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a near-contemporary mosaic of Frankish soldiers from the 13th century. Depicting warriors who participated in the infamous fourth crusade, which saw Constantinople being sacked, this mosaic is housed within the historic Church of San Giovanni Evangelista. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this artwork transport us back to a time when war and religion were deeply intertwined. The Franks, known for their bravery and military prowess, are depicted here with their shields raised high and weapons at the ready. Clad in formidable armor, these soldiers exude strength and determination as they prepare for battle. Located in Emilia Romagna, Ravenna, Italy, this artifact serves as a testament to both the religious fervor that fueled the crusades and the artistic skill of its creators. It offers us a glimpse into an era where Christianity played a central role in shaping political landscapes. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured by CM Dixon's lens, let us reflect on how warfare has shaped our world throughout centuries past. This mosaic not only represents an important historical event but also reminds us of humanity's complex relationship with faith and conflict – concepts that continue to resonate today.
