EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-004006-0000" offers a frontal view of the exquisite ivory throne of Maximilian. Dating back to the 6th century, this remarkable work of art can be found in the esteemed Museo Arcivescovile in Ravenna. Captured sometime between 1880 and 1900, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this ancient masterpiece. The ivory throne stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Ravenna. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of various stories from both the Old and New Testaments. The subject matter includes elements such as birds, vertebrates, animals like Arabian camels - terrestrial mammals that add an exotic touch to the scene. The presence of figures dressed in period costumes hints at biblical narratives such as Joseph's story from Hebrew tradition or scenes depicting moments from Christ's life in Christian religion. These characters bring life and depth to this ancient artwork. Surrounded by lush vegetation featuring grapevines with ripe fruits and thorny briars adds another layer of symbolism. This vegetal element represents growth, abundance, but also challenges faced along one's spiritual journey. While little is known about the unidentified author who captured this mesmerizing shot for Alinari, their skillful composition transports us back through time. It invites us to marvel at not only the artistic beauty but also ponder upon its historical context within early Christianity. This print serves as a visual treasure trove for art enthusiasts seeking glimpses into our past while offering an opportunity for reflection on faith and culture intertwined throughout centuries gone by.
