EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing mosaic floor that tells a tale of ancient warriors engaged in an intense battle. The artwork, dating back to the 12th century, is located in Casa Alciati, now known as Museo Leone, in Vercelli. The mosaic depicts two armed warriors fiercely fighting with their shields and swords. Their muscular bodies are intricately detailed, showcasing the craftsmanship of Romanesque art from the Middle Ages. This exquisite piece represents a significant part of European history during the first and second millenniums A. D. Photographed in 1959 by Alinari, Fratelli, this print beautifully showcases not only the visual beauty but also highlights various elements within it. The inscription on the mosaic suggests that it may have served as a form of communication or symbolization for its viewers during that time period. The image evokes feelings of admiration for these brave fighters who once roamed Europe centuries ago. It offers us insight into their clothing and fashion choices while emphasizing their weaponry - swords and shields - which were crucial aspects of their identity. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph delves into anthropology, ethnography, folklore, population dynamics, and nationality representation. It invites contemplation about concepts such as dispute and discord prevalent during those times. Alinari's skillful capture allows us to appreciate this remarkable artwork even today. While we can't witness it firsthand due to its location at Museo Leone in Vercelli (formerly Casa Alciati), this print transports us back through time to experience a fragment of history frozen forever within an enchanting mosaic floor.
