EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the Byzantine mosaic in the apse of St. Vitale Basilica in Ravenna. The focal point of this image is Giustiano, who is being followed by a procession of officials, soldiers, and priests. This intricate artwork dates back to 546-548 AD and showcases the grandeur and opulence of Byzantine art. Giustiano stands tall and regal, adorned with a magnificent crown befitting his royal status. His clothing exudes elegance and power, as he wears a stole that signifies his role as a priest within the Christian religion. Surrounded by members of high social standing, Giustiano's presence commands attention and respect. The mosaic itself is an exquisite example of applied arts and crafts from the first millennium A. D. , showcasing meticulous details in every brushstroke. The vibrant colors used bring life to each figure depicted on this ancient masterpiece. As we delve into history through this photograph, we catch glimpses not only into the nobility but also into society and politics during that era. It serves as a testament to the influence wielded by political figures like Giustiano during their reigns. Alinari Fratelli has expertly captured this moment in time between 1915-1920 CA. , allowing us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind Byzantine artistry as well as its historical significance within Europe's cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these stunning works continue to captivate our imagination while providing valuable insights into ancient populations' lives and beliefs
