EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us to the entrance of the majestic Cathedral of St. Duje in Split, Croatia. Standing tall and proud, a column-bearing lion guards this sacred place with an air of regality. The image captures a moment frozen in time, taken between 1950-1960, showcasing the timeless beauty of this historical masterpiece. The artwork itself dates back to the 11th century and was crafted by the skilled hands of Maestro Otto. It represents more than just a mere statue; it is an allegory, an abstract concept brought to life through symbolism. The lion, known for its strength and courage, embodies these qualities as it stands sentinel at the cathedral's entrance. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this ancient symbol is a figure dressed in period clothing – a man adorned in religious attire reminiscent of early Christian saints. This male figure can be identified as St. Peter himself, holding his iconic object - a cane or staff - which further signifies his role within Christianity. The photograph not only captures artistry but also offers glimpses into fashion trends from centuries past. The intricate details on St. Peter's costume showcase craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari, we are transported back through history to witness both artistic mastery and religious devotion intertwined seamlessly within one frame. It serves as a reminder that even today we can find inspiration in ancient symbols and embrace their enduring significance without commercial intent or mention thereof
