EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lectern of the pulpit of the Basilica of S. Ambrogio, a remarkable piece composed of two copper reliefs depicting the Evangelist and the Eagle. The grandeur and intricacy of this Romanesque masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic eagle, meticulously crafted in copper. As an animal representation, it carries profound symbolism within its form. In allegorical terms, the eagle embodies strength, power, and freedom – qualities that resonate deeply with viewers across time and cultures. The presence of the Evangelist further enriches this composition. Representing St. Luke from the New Testament Bible, his inclusion adds a spiritual dimension to this work. As a personification of faith and devotion during Europe's Middle Ages, he serves as a reminder of Christianity's enduring influence on art throughout history. Dating back to XI-XII century AD. , this lectern stands as an extraordinary relic from Europe's first and second millenniums - an era marked by immense cultural transformation and artistic innovation. Its existence within Milan's Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio speaks volumes about its historical significance. Captured in 1915-20 by Alinari Fratelli through their lens, this photograph immortalizes not only an exceptional work but also pays homage to their own artistic vision in capturing such beauty for posterity. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how art can transcend centuries while still evoking emotions within us all these years later. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our eternal quest for meaning beyond ourselves.
