EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Baldacchino of the main altar in the Euphrasian Basilica, located in Porec, Croatia. The intricately designed baldachin, or canopy, is a true testament to Byzantine art and stands as an awe-inspiring masterpiece within Europe's rich cultural heritage. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this remarkable artwork captures the essence of medieval craftsmanship. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli - a renowned name associated with capturing timeless moments through their lens. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the grandeur of the baldachin. Its ornate details and delicate carvings are reminiscent of a bygone era when religious devotion was expressed through exquisite artistry. Standing tall above the main altar, it serves as both a symbol of reverence and an architectural marvel. The subject matter depicted on this artistic treasure revolves around representations of the Virgin Mary's life. Drawing inspiration from biblical narratives found in the New Testament, particularly focusing on events such as Annunciation, this piece invites viewers into a world where faith intertwines with artistic expression. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back centuries ago to witness not only an extraordinary work of art but also a glimpse into history itself. It reminds us that throughout time and across continents like Europe, human creativity has been shaped by spirituality and devotion.
