EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate bas-relief of St. George, adorning the side facing Piazza dei Leoni at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The image transports us back to the first and second millennium A. D. , showcasing a remarkable piece of Byzantine art. St. George, depicted in this low relief, stands as a symbol of bravery and courage, his military attire exuding strength and power. His fashionably detailed clothing reflects the style prevalent during that era, offering a glimpse into the sartorial choices of men from centuries past. As a Christian saint, St. George holds significant religious importance, representing devotion and faithfulness to one's beliefs. In his hand rests an impeccably crafted sword - an emblematic weapon synonymous with battles fought for righteousness throughout European history. The shield byzantine art adorning his arm further emphasizes his role as a protector against evil forces that threaten peace and harmony within society. Alinari Fratelli's masterful photography preserves this timeless artwork for generations to come. Captured between 1920-1930 ca. , this print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also offers insight into how it has endured through time. Located in St. Mark's Square in Venice, this bas-relief serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage while simultaneously inviting viewers on an artistic journey spanning centuries.
