EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Nativity of Jesus mosaic, which adorns the vault of the entrance to the Church of Martorana in Palermo. The artwork itself dates back to the 12th century, showcasing exquisite Norman style craftsmanship from the Middle Ages. The image transports us to a bygone era in Europe, providing a glimpse into religious art during the first and second millenniums. It is believed that this particular photograph was taken around 1900, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value. Every detail within this mosaic tells a story. From cradle-like structures symbolizing new life to shepherds tending their flocks under a starry sky, it beautifully depicts various scenes from Christ's birth. Angels with outstretched wings hover above while Joseph stands protectively beside Mary, draped in her mantle cloak. The figures are adorned in medieval attire, showcasing intricate fashion choices and accessories such as bands on male heads or fur garments worn by saints. Even animals play their part; donkeys, oxen, and sheep add authenticity to this sacred scene. Intriguing inscriptions and writings can be seen throughout the artwork - perhaps passages from biblical texts or prayers dedicated to Jesus' birth. This mosaic serves as an instrument for communication between worshippers and divinity. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Brogi from Alinari's collection, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout history. The Church of Martorana stands as a testament to faith's enduring power across generations – an architectural marvel that continues to inspire all who enter its doors.
