EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing Ambo of the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Lago in Moscufo. Dating back to the Romanesque period of the Middle Ages, this remarkable artwork is a true testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage. The photograph, taken around 1931, beautifully showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of Nicodemo da Guardiagrele, the talented artist behind this masterpiece. The ambo itself is adorned with various symbols and allegorical representations that transport viewers into a world of abstract concepts and deep symbolism. One cannot help but be drawn to the majestic lion depicted on this ancient piece. As a type of representation often associated with strength and power, it serves as an allegory for courage and nobility. Alongside the lion are figures such as angels, saints, dragons, and even fanciful animals from literature and fiction. Among these symbolic elements lies an emblematic crest representing St. Matthew or St. George from Christian religious lore. This geometrical form adds another layer of intrigue to an already fascinating composition. As we delve further into history through this photograph, we are reminded that art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across different eras. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating its timeless beauty. Anderson's skillful capture not only preserves this invaluable artwork but also invites us to explore its historical significance within both biblical narratives from the New Testament and broader European culture throughout multiple millennia.
