EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of a Pictish Stone adorned with biblical scenes, dating back to the 9th century. The stone's intricate carvings depict what could possibly be references to biblical passages, such as Judges 15:16 which recounts Samson's legendary feat of slaying a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass. Originating from Inchbrayock in Scotland, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history and religious beliefs of its time. The image captures not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the symbolism embedded within every stroke. It portrays various animals and people, including horses and men engaged in conflict. These elements serve as visual representations of Christian concepts prevalent during that era. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance of this Pictish Stone. As we delve into its imagery, we are transported back centuries ago when religion played a central role in shaping societies. Photographed by CM Dixon in collaboration with Mike Dixon between 1996-98 under AccuSoft Inc. , this stunning print preserves an invaluable piece of our cultural heritage for generations to come. Let it serve as a reminder that even through the passage of time, art continues to connect us with our past and enrich our understanding of human civilization.
