EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring apsidal mosaic found in the Chapel of the Sacrament, within the magnificent Cathedral of San Giusto in Trieste. The artwork, dating back to the 12th century, depicts a majestic scene of the Madonna enthroned with two archangels - Michael and Gabriel. The central figure is none other than the Virgin Mary herself, seated gracefully on a regal throne. Her serene expression exudes both strength and tenderness as she cradles her divine child, Jesus Christ. Flanking her are Archangel Michael on her right and Archangel Gabriel on her left. Both celestial beings stand tall and proud, their wings unfurled in all their heavenly glory. Every detail of this Romanesque masterpiece is meticulously crafted, from the intricate patterns adorning Mary's robe to the delicate feathers that grace each angel's wings. The vibrant colors used in this mosaic bring life to its subjects while also reflecting a sense of sacredness befitting such an important religious iconography. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back through time to witness an extraordinary piece of European history. This artwork not only represents a significant period in art during the Middle Ages but also serves as a testament to faith and devotion throughout centuries. Whether one admires it for its artistic brilliance or finds solace in its spiritual symbolism, this apsidal mosaic remains an enduring symbol of beauty and reverence that continues to captivate viewers even today.
