EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite embossed silver binding of St. Mark's Gospel, a true masterpiece of Venetian workmanship. The verso of this binding depicts two significant scenes from Christian history: the Crucifixion and St. Peter giving the crosier to Bishop Hermagoras, introduced by St. Mark himself. Housed in the Treasury of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, this stunning piece exemplifies the intricate artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during the Gothic period in Europe. Created between 1325 and 1350, it is a testament to the skill and dedication of its creators. The image captures every detail of this remarkable artwork with precision, allowing us to marvel at its beauty even through time's lens. The crucifixion scene portrays Christ on the cross, surrounded by figures witnessing his sacrifice for humanity. In another panel, we witness an important moment in ecclesiastical history as St. Peter hands over his pastoral staff (crosier) to Bishop Hermagoras under the watchful eye of St. Mark himself – a symbolic passing down of authority within Christianity. The photograph was taken between 1920 and 1930 by Alinari Fratelli, renowned photographers known for their exceptional documentation of historical artifacts and artworks. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a different era – one filled with devotion and reverence for sacred spaces like St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also as an inspiration for future generations to appreciate and preserve these invaluable treasures from our past.
