EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite Architrave of the Main Portal of the Baptistery in Campo dei Miracoli, Pisa. Dating back to the 12th century, this Romanesque masterpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Middle Ages in Europe. The architrave is divided into two distinct parts, each depicting significant religious scenes. In the lower section, we witness an intricate portrayal of the Stories of St. John the Baptist. The high relief sculptures beautifully narrate episodes from his life, offering a glimpse into his profound significance within Christian religion. Moving upwards, our eyes are drawn to Jesus among various celestial beings -the Virgin Mary, angels and evangelists. This upper part showcases a harmonious composition that radiates divine grace and serenity. The figures are expertly carved with meticulous attention to detail and convey a sense of spiritual transcendence. The use of marble as a medium adds grandeur and durability to this remarkable artwork. Its smooth surface enhances every intricacy sculpted by skilled hands centuries ago. Captured around 1900 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph preserves not only an extraordinary work of art but also serves as a historical document showcasing Pisa's rich cultural heritage during its first millennium AD. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time; immersed in an era where craftsmanship flourished and religious devotion was expressed through masterful creations like these architraves. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with spirituality – serving as both a visual feast for our senses and an avenue for connecting with something greater than ourselves.
