EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking "Frescoes of the Last Judgement" in the church of the Meryemana Manastiri, a magnificent monastery nestled in Sumela, Trebisonda Territory, Turkey. The artwork itself dates back to the XVIII century and is a testament to both Oriental art and culture that flourished during Asia's first and second millenniums. The image transports us to a world where theological subjects come alive through vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes. Depicting scenes from the Bible's New Testament, particularly focusing on the last judgement, this mural painting serves as a visual narrative of profound spiritual significance. Photographed by Pietro Ronchetti between 1976-1977, this print captures not only an artistic masterpiece but also preserves an invaluable piece of history. It allows us to appreciate how art has transcended time, connecting generations across centuries. As we gaze upon these frescoes, we are reminded of their cultural importance within Turkish heritage. They reflect not only religious devotion but also shed light on the rich tapestry of oriental art and culture prevalent throughout Asia during ancient times. This photograph invites us into a realm where faith intertwines with creativity—where brushstrokes become prayers whispered onto walls. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human expression—a universal language capable of conveying emotions and beliefs beyond words. In this single frame frozen in time lies a story waiting to be explored—a story that speaks volumes about our shared humanity and our collective desire for transcendence.
