EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002085-0000" showcases the exquisite bronze door of the Duomo in Ravello. Crafted by the skilled artist Barisano da Trani in 1179, this magnificent artwork is a true testament to his talent and devotion. The door itself is composed of intricately designed panels that depict various scenes from Christian mythology. Among these scenes are depictions of Saints and the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus, beautifully capturing their grace and divinity. The attention to detail is remarkable, as each panel tells its own story through delicate craftsmanship. Dating back to 1869-1871 when this photograph was taken by Giorgio Sommer, it serves as a timeless reminder of both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Sommer's ability to capture every intricate detail allows viewers to appreciate not only the grandeur of the bronze door but also its symbolic importance within religious iconography. As we delve into this image further, we notice other elements present around the door. A snake slithers across one panel while reptiles bask nearby, reminding us of biblical references such as Adam and Eve's temptation or Moses' staff turning into a serpent before Pharaoh. Additionally, an ibis gracefully perches on another panel alongside birds fluttering above - symbolizing purity and freedom. Further exploration reveals terrestrial mammals like horses and dogs depicted on separate panels – perhaps signifying loyalty or companionship in religious narratives. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history where artistry intertwines with spirituality at Ravello's Duomo entranceway. It invites us to marvel at Barisano da Trani's masterpiece while contemplating our own connection with faith through these powerful visual representations captured by Giorgio Sommer over a century ago.
