EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite "Chair of Massimiliano" a remarkable work of art found in the Archipescopal Museum in Ravenna. Dating back to the 6th century, this Bishop's Throne is a testament to early Christian art in Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The chair itself stands as an impressive symbol of power and authority, adorned with intricate carvings depicting various biblical scenes. In this particular image, birds flutter around the throne, adding an ethereal touch to its grandeur. The presence of vertebrates and animals, including an Arabian camel, further emphasizes its connection to ancient times. The artwork on the chair tells stories from both the Old Testament and New Testament. One can discern elements from Joseph's life as well as moments from Christ's journey. These depictions are meticulously crafted with attention given even to details such as costume and clothing fashion prevalent during that period. Surrounded by lush vegetation featuring grape vines laden with fruit, this piece transports viewers back in time while also evoking a sense of spirituality. The inclusion of vegetal elements or compositions adds depth and symbolism to this masterpiece. Photographed between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli, this print beautifully captures not only the intricacies of the Chair but also highlights its historical significance within European early Christian art. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation on religious themes that have shaped societies for centuries.
