EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate mosaic decoration found in the Church of St. Apollinare Nuovo, located in Ravenna, Italy. The specific detail captured here is known as "The port of Classe, the theory of the Virgins and Saints" which forms part of a larger Byzantine art masterpiece. Dating back to the 6th century AD, this artwork represents an important period in European history. The mosaics depict various elements such as crenelation, building elements, and decorative sections that highlight both architectural and military aspects. The presence of a gateway suggests its significance for transportation purposes - both naval and river-based. Within this elaborate scene are male saints alongside female figures who represent a group portrait within Christian religion. Their serene expressions convey devotion and spirituality while being surrounded by water adds an ethereal quality to their depiction. The photograph itself was taken between 1915-1920 approximately but captures an artwork from centuries earlier during the first millennium AD when Byzantine art flourished across Europe. Its preservation over time is a testament to its cultural importance. This stunning image was captured by Alinari Fratelli, renowned photographers who have skillfully documented historical artworks without commercial intent or use. Through their lens, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insight into ancient artistic techniques and religious symbolism that continue to inspire us today.
