EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricately painted wooden ceiling of Dadesjo Old Church in Smaland, Sweden. Dating back to 1928, this masterpiece is a true testament to the artistic prowess of its time. The circular medallions adorning the ceiling depict scenes from the Christmas evangelium, narrating the enchanting story of Christ's birth in a unique and visually engaging manner. With about 1300 details meticulously crafted, every inch of this painted wooden ceiling tells a tale. The photograph zooms in on one particular detail, offering us a glimpse into this remarkable artwork. In focus are two distinct sections: above is an exquisite symbol representing Evangelist Matthew alongside a scene depicting an episode from Mary's life; below we see three Magi paying homage to baby Jesus. This composition beautifully captures both religious symbolism and historical storytelling. Originally featured in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert, this lithograph provides us with an invaluable insight into medieval interior design and decoration practices. As we admire this stunning piece, it becomes evident that it transcends mere architectural features or decorative elements; it serves as a visual representation of faith and devotion that has stood strong for centuries within these sacred walls.
